Report from Anchorage

The tally so far is four radio interviews and two events (one in Juneau and one in Anchorage). Both events went really well - about twenty people at each, (fewer in ANC) tons of questions (more of those in ANC) and books were sold aplenty (seriously). Both bookstores are happily planning to continue stocking the book and both managers were delighted with how things turned out. So thus far all with the tour is going quite well and it is proving to be a most worthwhile endeavor.

Plus I'm having a ton of fun which is what matters most! ha!



Anchorage is in heavy break-up season right now so I'm afraid it does not look nearly as spectacular as Juneau. I did want to post these two pics of Lake Hood though, so you could get an idea of what it looks like. This is the busiest seaplane airport in the world (!) and these planes are just parked up on the banks of the lake. You land, taxi over to the side and park your plane and get out and hop into your car. It's all pretty cool and certainly unique. Of course you can't really appreciate it all with so much snow, but the lake is there, promise! (The dark part in the second picture is the road I was driving on.)

Tomorrow is an event at the Aviation Museum and then I'm off to Fairbanks where the weather is turning dramatically and I'm looking at the 40s. Yea!
