Day 9 - First day in Anchorage, AK

The next morning, I was to meet the tow truck driver, but the streeets in front of the hotel were closed for a charity run. We finally got the bike over to the dealer and unloaded it.

There was a charity run and a market just outside the Anchorage Hilton. There was a charity run and a market just outside the Anchorage Hilton. A knife juggler entertained.
