August 11, 2008: Kenai Peninsula (Turnagin Arm)

We landed in Anchorage around dinner time. We had dinner at Mama O's Seafood, a Lonely Planet suggestion. Great Halibut and Scallops and great udon noodles! Then it was Alaska Route 1 (Seward Highway and Sterling Highway) down to Soldotna for the night.
