After we'd been to Chena and stayed the night in Fairbanks (including an hour or two in the native bar opposite the hotel- and the resulting hangovers next day) it was time to head back to Anchorage. Via the lovely town of North Pole, home of the Santa Claus house. I now have a great pic of myself sitting on Santa's knee, and because I wa s so good and didnt cry, mrs Claus herself gave me a candy cane! Oh dear...
The drive back to anchorage was awesome. We stopped every 5 minutes to photograph things- the oil pipeline, giant mountains, frozen rivers, herds or caribou (Erich and I: "Look at the caribou! they're so pretty". Delmar:"look at the caribou! I'm so hungry.") Eventually, like at 5pm, it got too dark to see the scenery and I kept nodding off, but we did stop once more so I could walk on a frozen lake. One question: when everything else around is covered in snow, how do lakes stay clean? Erich just showed me photos of the parts I missed when it was dark, and I can see I'm going to have to come back for summer.
We made it home by 9pm, dropped the eskimo at his condo and crashed into bed. Today is a quiet, lazy day...

Oh and photos will come once I get home and have sorted them all.

Just got home from Legion, a couple of beers and an absolutely superb steak sandwich under my belt makes me haaaapppy... now to snuggle on the couch and watch scarey movies.

I seriously think I need to move here... if only to wean Erich off the cheez wizz!! (love you baby... ;-)) But seriously, I really do think this could work.
