From An Alaskan Getaway

>> Aug 31, 2011

This was the cause of my long absence from here..We were vacationing in Alaska , to celebrate our 3 years of togetherness . It was a much needed vacation for both of us , N was really busy with his job and I  was busy with some writing projects for sometime. We badly wanted sometime off to relax , enjoy and be close to the nature . Though this was a destination chosen by N just out of whim , it proved to the bestest we have been to.


We inhaled a lot of Alaska in the red-yellow-green hills , snow covered mountains , crisp blue seas , umpteen number of glaciers , the grizzly bears , the wolfs , the reindeers and white whales , pretty strange towns etc..It was an experience of a lifetime !!!!!! We hiked till we dropped , and saw a lot of animals in their natural habitat..Don't you think its amazing ?


A trip to any new place is not complete without a visit to the local market right. There was one right next to where we stayed in downtown Anchorage , and it was so lively with fresh fruits , vegetables , baked goodies , music , dance and Alaskan art exhibits. Don't miss some of the wonderful restaurants and brewery if you happen to be in the town and its a seafood heaven. I even tasted buffalo burgers and reindeer sausages ..Yumm!

We got back just in time for Irene , and thank God it wasn't as bad as it was expected to be. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures. 

Good day !!!♡♡♡
