Anchorage Day 3

We had a very busy and exciting day.  First we officially reported to work for the first time, went through orientation, signed lots of papers, met all the biggies at the office, and spent a long time at the DMV becoming licensed Alaska drivers. 

After our day of work related things we decided to take a little adventure and explore the beautiful mountains that are right near Anchorage.  The Chugach Mountains are not as large as other mountain ranges in Alaska but are beautiful in their own right.  We visited the Turnagain arm of the Cook Inlet, drove down to the Kenai Peninsula, saw the Portage glacier, drove through a 2.5 mile tunnel through a mountain (underneath a big glacier) and came out on the other side to see a small bit of the Prince William Sound. 

Tonight we will spend the rest of our time here preparing for our trek to Aniak tomorrow.  Laundry, repacking, charging all of our electronics, and still trying to adjust to the time change. 

It was a good day.  I saw beautiful things.  I felt the cold wind coming off the mountain glaciers. Yes, it was a good day.
