Day 22 Anchourage, AK

Greetings, today was a good day. We had an outstanding time last night at the Congdon's. Jennifer cooked a spectacular meal for us. She prepared chicken, roasted tomatoes, and a Thia salad over rice. We sat in the back yard and enjoyed the sun. Their home is beautiful and is located right near the water, overlooking the Sleeping Lady mountain range. What a glorious view they have. Tracy played with the girls while Jeff and I chatted. Before we knew it, it was 10:30p.m. It's hard to tell the time by the sun because it doesn't set, it just circles around the mountains. Jeff drove us back to the hotel and we called it the night. This morning we ate at the hotel and then waited for the bike to be finished. Tracy did laundry and I looked up alternate routes for the ride home. We cant take the ferry because the schedule conflicts with our schedule, so we are riding back the way we came. Our bike was ready around 2:00p.m. so we walked over to pick it up. We returned to the hotel then went for a little ride. We had dinner at a 50's diner. The food was outstanding. We are just sitting around relaxing and preparing for the ride home. We leave in the morning. The weather is suppose to be nice and we pray it will stay that way. Not much to tell you about today so I will keep this one short. The adventure starts all over again tomorrow. Stay tuned and keep praying for us. God Bless and good night.

We've been so impressed following the ride with you. We've had lousy weather here the last day or two. They actually had golf ball sized hail in Niagara, Orleans and Genesee counties. Some damage but nothing really bad. We had hail here but not as large as other areas. Some sad news, Fred Luce passed. today is his funeral. The kids are doing OK, though as is Raybo. Now onto other things. Time for your return. We are SO looking forward to seeing you and all the pics. Dinner and "movies"? Ride safe. Take care and God Bless.
