Day 5: Downtown Anchorage and Coastal Trail

This is Marlene reporting for Friday, July 12. Today, for the first time ever the class and I learned about some history and ghosts that had happened downtown, well at least it was my first time hearing about it all. Honestly, I thought it was going to be boring, but it's pretty cool to be hearing about about ghosts and even history. As I was looking around to try to take some fascinating pictures, the results of the picture didn't really come out so fascinating, but I tried! At first, I thought the old man that was telling us stories about ghosts was a magician, but come to find out he wasn't! Oh well. While we were walking downtown, I was so exhausted! I just wanted to lay down, that's all. Over all, being downtown and hearing ghost stories was pretty cool and I actually liked it, I would totally do it again, but the only thing I would change is the walking part. 

Now let's hear from Maddi. Today we biked to Kincaid Park from downtown on the coastal trail, it took about an hour 15 minutes to get there. I had the chance to stop to take photos on the bike ride. I knew we would be taking a cruise sometime during the program I was super excited, because I am a biker I love biking. It's always so good to go on bike rides, especially in a program like this with hiking and fishing. The best part is, everyone in the program went on this bike ride. Some people don't even do physical activities like these past five days. Next week I know it's going to be fun also, because we get more hiking done.
