Angel's Rest?



We had to make a trip to the Harley Davidson shop in Anchorage. Their shirts were absolutely beautiful. Steve got a three-pack. This shop actually sold bikes - there are other shops that don't actually sell bikes or riding gear - only shirts and other merch. Went to Earthquake park and took some pictures. Geez, I love that camera. Went to downtown Anchorage and did some shopping. Got a couple of t-shirts and whatnot.

Headed to Seward. The drive was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely have to post some pics to the blog to show off. Did I mention how awesome that camera is?

Got to the B&B in Seward, called Angel's Rest. We were a little bit scared of what we saw. In Steve's words, "Oh $hit!" when we saw the office. Looked like something out of a "B" horror movie, or something that Cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon "Vacation" series would have aspired to run. However, you can't always judge a B&B by it's outside. The whole section of town - about 3 miles outside of the downtown area - was pretty unsettling. There were more B&Bs that looked questionable.

However, the cabin itself was pretty cute on the inside, just not finished yet on the outside. We were told that we were supposed to have a cabin right on the water, and we paid $180 a night for the place - NOT on the water. They asked us to clean the room ourselves, but in a note left in the room, asked that we leave a generous tip for the foreign-exchange student housekeeper! Still, I have to say, the whole experience was okay, just more money than what it was worth.
