We arrived in Palmer yesterday where we are camped at the Mt. View RV Park. As we have so many times lately, we look out our window and see the beautiful mountain so majestic. On Saturdays in Anchorage, there is an outdoor market which we visited today and took in the sights of the downtown. Anchorage is very walker friendly, so it's fun to park and take to the sidewalks. There are many parks with areas to sit and people watch or take in the colorful flowers so beautifully planted all over the city.
Leslie found one of her favorite subjects to photograph. We thought she should take the opportunity to get up close and personal. Although the guys' bear doesn't look quite so cuddly, they agreed to be good sports and pose. This was actually a gift shop; "Grizzly's" with lots of said named merchandise.
After taking in the outdoor market, we headed for Humpy's for lunch. Robert and Leslie had been telling us about this place, and it was great food with lots of beer choices. We loved it!
We learned that the city of Anchorage maintains 18 greenhouses for supplying the downtown flowers. Some 300,000 flowers are planted in the Spring and thousands of hanging baskets of many varieties are placed throughout the city. So pleasing to the eye.
