Saturday in Fairbanks AKA What I did Today:)

So right now I am updating my blog from one of my new found fav spots in Fairbanks, Gulliver's Books. It is an charming little book store that is right across the street from UAF, and they sell new and used books as well as uniquely Alaskan gifts.

This is just one example of the treasures that can be found lol

They also have a cafe upstairs were you can get bagels, sandwiches, wraps, coffees ect. My favorite part is that they give you free water and coffee!  Mostly because I love free things. (The only thing free you should turn down is if a someone hands you a present in an airport...just say no!) For lunch I got a wrap that was turkey and stuffing and lettuce and pretty much tasted like thanksgiving! Amazing :) Also if you are a student you get a dollar off! Holla! In my mind that pretty much means I am eating here for free and using their internet! LOVES IT!

So this morning I went to the farmers market that is right down the street, and it is fantastic! They have lots of jewelry, honey, crafts, tons of produce, and lots of food vendors. (OK side note the book store is playing the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge 50 points to Gulliver's!) They had people making crepes, and reindeer sausage, and of course Thai food. Fairbanks has a huge dirty love affair with Thai food... Thai food and coffee shacks! They are literally everywhere!!!! I don't understand it...I mean I like Thai food but there is such an overwhelming number of Thai places. There is probably a 25:1 ratio of Thai restaurants to every other kind of place to get food and I am including McDonalds in there!  Ok I got of topic but whatever. Back to the farmers market! I got a a zucchini, cucumber, a giant thing of lettuce, and a woo hoo onion (? I am still doubting that onion purchase) all for 9 bucks!. Did I mention that it was all organic? Loves it! They also had some of the biggest zucchini I have ever seen! Its abnormal! I guess it's natures way of over compensating because winter is coming!  I also found some wild blueberry jam which I am super excited about... mostly because I love pb and j.

 I also bought some cards done by a local artist she is pretty amazing!!

The rest of the day is going to be spent at Lace's favorite place in Fairbanks, the dog park. She loves going and playing with the other dogs. I just feel like she is the awkward dog that is like  OMG PLAY WITH ME!!! I WANT TO PLAY BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I AM DOING SO IM JUST GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AND BITE YOUR NECK! (She clearly thinks in all caps.)Even though Lacy might be a smidge awkward she has adjusted and made new friends. (She is also by far the largest dog we have seen so far) So it has been a great way to meet new people and let her get some energy out.:) Everyone is happy!
