Sitka Summary


Brian in front of his store.

Inside the store.
These bag looks really cool when it changes color.

What Del Sol (and Sitka) thrives – cruise ships.
People actully live in these houses out on the islands.
They use boats to get back to the main part of Sitka to do there shopping, ect.

On Saturday morning we went whale watching.
It was cool, especially when we stood out on top at the front of the boat.
We saw a bunch of whales. It was pretty amazing.

Bear warnings were all over –
I guess this local is ready if he sees a bear.
Brain, the might fisher!
(Caught with his bare hands.)


Tom and Brian went for a hike while I stayed in the car. (More about what I did on my next post.)
It is REALLY beautiful – but REALLY WET!
This road on the island is about 15 miles from end to end.

We visited the Alaska Raptor Center.
A really cool place that works with wounded birds to rehabilate them to live on their own in the wild. If they are not healthy enough to live in the wild – they become education birds.
We went and saw some native dancers. This girl actually works in the Del Sol store.

Sunday the sky was clear and we actully saw the sun for a good part of the day.



Many totem poles on the island. At one place we actally saw a man working on one.
Bald eagle out in the wild. They are amazing to see fly.

The church fits right in with its surroundings. A log style type church.

A couple of action shots from our visit.

    These pictures bring back some good memories. I am sure that Ryan would be homesick looking at them! How long was your trip? I am glad that you have a blog, they are perfect for keeping up with what everyone is up to!

    Wow looks like a fun trip, and the surroundings do reminisce of Forks.
