While staying in Anchorage we’re being housed in a little basement apartment in a quiet residential neighborhood not far from downtown.

Downtown is close by, but I hadn’t realized how close.

Our first few days here, Saturday and Sunday, were spent meeting the outgoing Prof., getting acclimated to our living arrangements, stocking up on food and supplies and becoming familiar with what the city has to offer.
On Monday it rained.
The last two days, however, have been spent exploring the walk-ability of this city, from where we live.
So while the Legal Dude is working and the teenager—well, is being a teenager—I put on my walking shoes and go exploring.
The Sagaya Market we like so much, which is reminiscent of WF but may be owed by Dean and Deluca (carries their products) is a mere fifteen to twenty minute walk from the house.
Downtown is between forty to fifty minutes

and chat with this gal...
I had seen her during one of our earlier drive-bys and stopped to discern why someone would keep such a large animal domesticated, i.e., caged.
I’m told she was a rescue and had bonded with people, versus her own species.

I’m told the Reindeer farm is for raising meat (there’s a lot of reindeer on the menus here) and so Star (who has her own FB page) is ostensibly saved from gracing someone’s plate.
