Monday at Chena

We slept in and had a small breakfast in the snack bar instead of in the dining room.  We went on a leisurely walk on a nature trail. and ended out at the dog pen.  We had signed up to go on a dog sled ride.  We watched them get the dogs for the ride.

George and Nathan got to mush for a while.

it was a very fun ride.

afterwards it was time for lunch.  George and Nathan split a seafood pasta and I had a chicken BLT with a beer and tomato soup.  I could not face the water. 

After lunch we went on a very long walk.  I was ready for the hot springs after that. 

2.5 miles is further when you are walking in boots and on snow. But it was gorgeous.  A perfect day.  Our free entry to the hot springs was up at 3 pm and that is just when we got there. After that we headed back to Fairbanks (about 1 1/2 hour drive).  We had decided to return to the same hotel we had been at before so it was back to number 2 hotel instead of number 4.  

we went out to the Asian Bistro for dinner.  It was good food but very slow service.  They lost my order.  Everyone was nearly done when my dish arrived.  We are saving it for left-overs for tomorrow.
