Alaskan Fish Dinner At Connie's
This evening we enjoyed an incredible Alaskan fish dinner at the home of Connie Morris. We met Connie, a librarian, this afternoon while visiting the public library in Clark Fork, Idaho. Connie commutes to work on a scooter and when she heard about our bicycle travels she proudly showed off her scooter and then generously invited us to her home for dinner.
Connie also invited her spirited neighbor, Smokey Kehoe, to join us for dinner and so we enjoyed chatting with both of them about their storied lives in the Northwest. Connie grew up in Alaska before it was a state and she recollected the controversial election process the people went through to decide whether the territory should become a state. Smokey moved to Oregon late in his childhood and having moved several times throughout the Northwest as a home builder, he explained how the region has experienced a population boom and significant development since his childhood.
While enjoying the dinner, we learned that Connie had just returned from a vacation in Alaska and the fish we were eating had come from her recent trip!
