Wildlife and scenery.

Alaska is big. I mean really big. Britian is about 80 thousand square miles, France 210 thousand sq miles. Alaska covers almost 700 thousand sq miles. We were told it is full of wild life, to watch for bears and moose on the highways. Did we see any? Did we heck! That's not entirely true. We did see Brown and Black bears as well as moose, musk ox (which is neither an ox or has musk glands) wolves and bison at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre. The highlight of the trip was the baton twirling Black bear, no picture unfortunately. 

Alaska doesn't disappoint on the scenery front though. We have seen calving glaciers and more mountains than you can shake a stick at.

The pictures don't do it justice.
