Good morning.....now where did I leave off?? We had arrived by train in Seward. The Seward Windsong Lodge was nice.....quite rustic with about 15 buildings with 8 or 10 units in each. Lots of walking. We couldn't check in, so we went to "town" and visited the Sea Life center which was just as nice as the Boston Aquarium....and part of the same parent organization. We had a great lunch. The town is famous for the Mount Marathon run that was held on July 4th. I saw the results on the news this morning. It's quite a tradition. Started with a bet in a bar...figures.
Here are 2 photos....one of the lodge's front area and on of the scenery across the street from the entrance.
The town only has 2500 residents.....very "Alaska". 7 streets wide and 15 streets long. The only downside to our hotel was that it was 4 miles out of town, so it required a shuttle ride to get there, and too much time between shuttles. It would have been much better to be in the town itself. it also restricted out choice for meals....1 restaurant.
I already sent photos of the town....next post will be photos of the Fiord Cruise. let me just say the seas were very rough and we had a lot of green people on board. The catamaran actually caught air a couple times. There were some quite areas where we could pull in and get a break from the rough seas. Ian and I got close to being sick, but but we had taken Dramamine just in case. I think it saved us!!!
