We arrived early yesterday on a non-eventful flight on American Airlines. The Westmark Baranof Hotel did not have a room ready for us, (not surprising for a 7 AM arrival), but they took our bags which was perfect.
It was standard South East Alaska drizzle, but we had rain gear and slowly worked our way through town towards the tram stopping for breakfast at the bakery. There was no line at the tram and we listened to the Alaska String Band show and wandered around before riding back down. There is an injured eagle, closest I have ever been.
We worked our way back towards the hotel and stopped at Saffron for a wonderful, wonderful lunch. We shared a plate and the ground lamb was as good as I have ever had. Lunch was less than $20.00, wow!
Our room was ready and we scored a corner room, a full suite on the 8th floor with water views on both sides. Thank you Lord! We hit the gym in the hotel and that energized us enough to go out. As we walked, we got a bit hungry and closed out at El Sombrero. The Halibut taco was excellent, we both had it.
