Alaskans like to travel and I’m no exception. It’s been a year since my last overseas trip. That trip was to Madrid, Spain. It was a marvelous experience. I should have learned a little Spanish before we traveled to Spain but live and learn.

Summer is a good time of year to be in South Central Alaska. Many tourists are surprised at how long our days are and how green Alaska is. Many are used to advertisements that depict Alaska as cold and snowy. Anchorage’s weather can be described as temperate.

Fur Rondy is a great time of year in Anchorage. Fur Rendevous began in 1936 as a three day sports tournament. It has changed over the years to include changes to the name. Today, Fur Rendezvous is known as Fur Rondy. There are many fun events that anyone can participate in.
