Sitka

July 10-15 Sitka

We arrived in Sitka and could not get into the harbor, so we anchored outside the harbor waiting for a slip to open up. We stayed at the Westmark Hotel - to have a night off the boat and stretch out a little in a "real" bed. Mike's back has been bothering him since Glacier Bay, we hope a few days on solid ground will help him feel better. Sitka is a beautiful city. It is very historical and has museums and cultural centers throughout the town. Also, it has a beautiful Totem Pole Park that we visited. Evan got a chance to go out on a chart boat to catch "the big one". We are all staying in a sweet little bed and breakfast called Alaska's Ocean View. We had dinner last night on our deck with a beautiful view. We have enjoyed Sitka! Evan flies home tomorrow and we will head home...it will just take us a little longer to get there!! As we go back to the wilderness - it might be a bit before you hear from us on the blog again - at some point I will catch up our adventures. (Finally, getting a chance to update - it is now July 25th). Hope everyone is enjoying summer - we are!
