We are staying at a beautiful B&B in Fairbanks, a large 3 story home in a beautiful setting just outside of Fairbanks, from our room we can see the Alaskan ranges and Mt McKinley would be there if only it would come out of the clouds, this morning we were treated to a breakfast of homemade quiche, banana and orange bread, homemade yogurt and blueberries and of course hot coffee and juice, yum.
