University of Alaska Fairbanks Museum

Pretty slow day after yesterday.  UAF has an outstanding museum that touches on just about everything one could associate with the north.  Many excellent displays on all things Alaska.  Also three movies on different subjects, one of them being life in Alaska in winter.  Several galleries of art.  They advise planning on four hours and we were there just about that long.

One danger of spending a few days in one place is that there is time to search out fabric stores.  We visited two and made purchases in each.  There is also a Joann store which we will probably get in to.  Probably no purchases though.  No coupons.  :)

We visited a company that makes wooden bowls.  Fascinating to watch half a round of wood be turned into three or four bowls of decreasing diameters.  Rough cut takes about 30 minutes for three bowls. 

Wal-mart for bread then back to carbus.

The rest of the afternoon was devoted to doing two weeks of laundry
