Picking back up where we left off, the best ways to spend your time in Anchorage.
First, I hope you caught my blog on Alyeska Nordic Spa. If you are in Anchorage long enough to squeeze in a visit to this beautiful property and spend some time at the spa, I highly recommend it.
Summertime in Anchorage means super-lengthy stretches of sunlight, so I made the best of that after my meetings. One evening I rented a bike for an hour, and it was plenty of time for my slew of photos and detours as I made my way along the coastline. The guys at the bike rental recommended I check out Earthquake Park. This is the site of devastation from the second-strongest earthquake ever recorded in human history, 9.2 magnitude. In 1964 this part of Anchorage saw its landscape change forever. It is truly a sight to see.
Another evening I enjoyed a visit to Anchorage Museum, home of one of the largest collections of cultural objects of The First Peoples of Alaska: Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage. It is a beautiful showcase of how diverse Alaska’s heritage is. I really felt like I was in another country. You’ll also find modern art produced by Alaskan artists; it’s very fun and beautiful. One of my favorites were the polar bears.
I must say, besides the bomb breweries I found, there were some really surprising eateries. You’ll find I already shared some in the first installment of Anchorage blog. I found a great ramen place that also offers up some very beautiful and delicious mixology, Whisky & Ramen. I must confess I ended up hanging out at 49th State Brewery a second time because I liked it there so much.
