Day 33


Welcome! Day 33 (Sept 10) of North to Alaska

 

Quote: “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” Martin Buber

Today we travelled to Seward. Another short trip.

It had rained most of the night and continued most of the day. We ate breakfast again next door. This time we did not eat as much i.e. we watched our budget. Also we wanted to stop at a bakery on the way out of town. After breakfast we packed up and left around 11. We did stop at a bakery called The Moose is Loose a bakery and gift shop. Any place called ‘The Moose is Loose’ is worth investigating. It was closed on Sunday and Monday so we had to wait till today. I got a large chocolate chip cookie, it was very good, and Cassie got a large muffin along with several gifts. Finally we got out of town. The drive was as expected except we got caught in some one way traffic due to 5 miles of construction about 20 miles north of Seward. We arrived about 1:30 but was not able to check in so we found a place to eat lite. I had a sub sandwich, Cassie had a plate full of Halibut. She then walked through downtown shopping. I walked around but did no shopping. Once she finished downtown we drove down to the dock area and she looked thru a couple of stores. Now she started feeling bad like what I had but with more coughing and chest congestion. There is no main drug outlet in Seward but I saw a Safeway so there we went. She picked out a different type of Mucinex, the twelve hour kind specially for cough. She took one and went to bed early. The next couple of days will be short driving days. I plan to leave late and check in earlier. She should be able to rest for the better part of the next two days before we head back to Canada.
