Yesterday was a busy and somewhat eventful day in Kodiak. Today was a lazy and wet day in Seward, home of the Iditarod dog sled starting point. Last night we really slept. Kathy woke me up after 7. And when we saw it was raining we decided not to take our excursion.
This was the view from our room after we docked. If the sun had been out it would be pretty. But it wasn’t.
The town seems to capture its memories with lost of artwork on buildings. Considering how many dark grey days they have each year I can understand.
We did take the shuttle to town and went to Mass at a small local Catholic Church. That was the first Mass Kathy attended on the whole trip (3 months). Then we walked to the SeaLife Center. This was a facility built by Exxon after the oil spill disaster at Valdez. It is the one tourist place in town. All of the other excursion went into the hills or one the water in the bay. It wasn’t a good day for either of those things.
This was the sign just outside the SeaLife building.
Then as we walked back through the terminal building to our ship there was a small quilt display. This was the best.
