Wednesday....

Well, I'm back again. Just trying to write a quick update ^_^ Ok let's see, there was a tour of Fairbanks today around 12, which was really cool. We first stopped at the Botanical Gardens on campus and saw some Caribou there. Next we took the main road form campus to the "strip" as some would like to call it. There, we saw the main shopping district of Fairbanks. The had plenty of different stores, shops and eateries there, including, Taco Bell, Walmart and Barnes and Noble. After passing through the shopping district, we went downtown. There are some fairly new building there, along with more little shops and eateries. After that, we went to a hilly mountain side to view one of the main rivers in Fairbanks. It was a nice sight, but the river was a little lower than usual. After viewing the river, we saw the other side of campus where the Rec Center, Cafeteria, Fine Arts Building, Bookstore, and Student Center were located. After the quick view of the other side of campus we went to the UAF Large Animal Farm to view the Muskox. The Muskox have some of the softest underbelly fur in the state. But due to its ability to contain heat, it is very expensive. That was the last stop on the tour of campus/town. I really wish I had brought my camera along, but we will be doing the tour again, so the next time I mention the town tour, there will be pictures :-D Well, that is all for now. Until we meet again....
