June 18, Fairbanks

We had a great morning at the University of Alaska Museum of the North. Spent 4 hours there and the time just flew. Needless to say it was very interesting! Exhibits covered everything from the Indians and Eskimos to the Gold Rush to WW II detention of Japanese American Alaskans from the Aleutian Islands. There was also a lot of artwork done by individuals from Alaska. After the Museum we went to the University’s Botanical Center. It wasn’t that neat. Picked up a few groceries on the way back to the RV so should have what we need and will be ready to go when the time comes. Some guy stopped by the RV the afternoon and sold us some fresh smoked salmon. I’m not too wild about smoked salmon but Sandi is so she bought some. Haven’t tried it yet so time will tell if she got ripped or not.

Dad, I'm really enjoying the tales of your trip. I've shared it with my friends here at work, and they're enjoying it as well. It makes us somehow feel cooler here in the 110 degree heat. You've inspired many of us to travel to Alaska.
