Fairbanks - Day Two (thursday)

We awoke to the sounds of Unkie Dan preparing french press coffee and the smells of eggs scrambling with spinach, tomatoes and cheese. After the "I-don't-have-to-think-about-anything-spoil-me-breakfast" we headed to the Uninversity and it's brand-spankin' new museum of art and natural Alaskan history. Tate was not too thrilled about the enormous stuffed brown bear blocking our entrance and it took some coaxing to get him by.

Once inside it was running from side to side to look at mammoth tusks, gemstones, stuffed rabbits, carved toys, clothes made of seal intestine, and a very relaxing movie about the Aurora Borealis. Upstairs in the art gallery I got solo time to walk and look, while Tate and Unkie Dan played hide and seek.


Back to the house for dog cuddling, naps and relaxing. And Dan made dinner, again another "I-don't-have-to-think-about-anything-spoil-me-dinner" and frosted the birthday cake he made for Adrian that afternoon. Tate "helped".
