This is a largest city we have seen since Calgary. It has a huge Air Force base right on the road coming in. We got up and went first to the visitors center. What a great place. Not only information but a wonderful cultural museum. We spent an hour or more enjoying the place and made reservations for the afternoon riverboat cruise. So off we went to catch the boat, wow it was awesome, nothing like we expected. We got to watch the sled racing dogs and meet the daughter of the first woman to win the Iditarod. Those dogs were beyond amazing and she demonstrated how they train them once snow is gone.
Then we got to watch a bush pilot take off and land on the water beside our boat.
They took us on to a aboriginal village with demonstrations and the history of the two tribes from the area told by natives. It was great.
It was certainly more than a riverboat ride! Sure hope Fairbanks is full of more great surprises. Well about time for bed although I don't feel like its time yet. This continual daylight is really strange. Its almost 10:30 and I still see the sun. Although it will be down shortly you can sit outside anytime during the night and read its so light.
