I forgot to mention that yesterday, on the train down from Denali, we passed through a very small town built around a 10-15 acre lake (Alaska has over 3 million lakes). The lake had a nice beach area. There were maybe a hundred people at the beach enjoying the high 60's temperatures. Guys had their shrts off, gals in shorts & kids in bathing suits I didn't see anyone actually in the water.
This morning we went to a craft market in a parking lot about 6 blocks from our hotel. Kathy bought some fur ear muffs and a Sonoran Hot Dog (for her breakfast). We were back at the hotel in plenty of time to board the bus for our 3 hour bus ride to Seward. The scenery on the trip down was good. We haven't been anyplace in Alaska where you could not see snow capped mountains.
Seward has a permanent population of only 3,000 people. The lodge we are staying at is several miles out of town. We took a shuttle bus downtown and walked around for 90 minutes. The only think we saw worth mentioning was a sea otter out in the bay. Kathy spied it. We watched it dive several times and then float along on its back. I think it had caught a fish and was eating it.
We "facetimed" with Lyda & Nolan for awhile this afternoon.
We had a good supper back at the lodge and will soon be ready for bed. I took a couple of photos today that I will post later. I'm to tired to bother with it tonight.
God is good, may He bless you & yours.
