Seward, Alaska

Seward Harbor

The Classic Coastal dropped us off at around 11:00 AM, we are on our own until 5:00 PM to board back to Anchorage, we have six hours to kill. Seward is not so big of a town, the last time we were here, we spend two nights at the city campground in 2006. The harbor is beautiful, we have lunch of fish chowder.

The Little White Church

The Little White Church 

This little church has a history way back to 1904 and it was moved to its present location when there was no bridge. Using the advantage of its brutal winter - frozen river, the church is where it is now.

Alaska Railroad Highlights

Alaska Railroad at Seward Station

We made a quick trip to Alaska to ride the train, we are now have completed three trips to the last frontier, during the summer solstice the sun almost does not set, this trip we never experience darkness. It's a beautiful time to visit Alaska during this time, the train ride is marvelous and very enjoyable.

Sauvie Island

End of the pavement road

We drove about 80 miles round trip to visit Sauvie Island as suggested by my friend Erika, when I know the day will be cloudy, I make an arrangement to go, some of the farm is not even open yet. The house boats along the river is a sight in itself.
