Anchorage and Molly

July 15, 2012

Left for Anchorage this morning so no fishing for me. Found Molly's house with no problem, it was very nice and I could definitely  tell they had been doing a lot of landscaping to it.  On the way there, it had been raining and I saw a HUGE, as in fat, not long, rainbow over Turnaround Inlet.  I tried to take a picture of it, but it really didn't show up well at all, but is was quite striking.

Molly looked great, and it was great to see her.  We went to the Farmer's Market downtown, a mixture of crafts, and food.   Bought some doughnuts for Charlie - and took Molly to lunch at Humpy's.  We split some crab balls and some halibut taco's.  Both were very good.  I had a wonderful time catching up with her.  Molly was Caroline's roommate in New Orleans and has recently moved up to Anchorage to live for a while.  She has only been here for a week, but already done some amazing things.  Josh, the friend and Teresa? his girlfriend ( sorry if that is wrong, being in Alaska has not helped me remember peoples names... ) have a boat, so she has already gone out and caught rock fish!  Pretty impressive. 

While there I looked up on the internet how to filet a salmon, so I can help filet mine and Charlie's fish - well, mine when I catch one..... and how to make ceviche - think I will try that soon.

Home around 7:00 - walked down to the river, Charlie and Steve were down there and Steve was trying to help Charlie find some fish.  No luck though, and then the bears came and reclaimed the river.
