Chena Hot Springs Video and chit-chat

One of my earlier blogs referred to the Ice Hotel at Chena Hot Springs, and today I received a notice of a good video showing this great destination, located about 60 miles east of Fairbanks . .. if you want to watch this video, click here. As good as this is, you must see it in person to be totally amazed.
The weather in Anchorage has finally toned down . . . seems almost balmy in the 20's. So, there are many outdoor activities to finally take advantage of. The ice sculptures in Town Square top the list, and a stroll thru the square is a great idea, especially after dark, which is most of the time.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau held a great Chef's Competition at the Convention Center, in conjunction with a marketing workshop. They had five chefs from some of the top restaurants in town, creating dishes on stage. Then they served samples to the audience, composed mostly of members, but also open to the public. However, it was hard to eat anything at all after the large buffet and mixed drinks, all hosted, earlier. I hope this turns into an annual event.
