This is a an older post that was hiding in the drafts and never got posted. Sorry for the confusion.
Today we drove out to Exit Glacier, which is part of Kenai Fjords National Park, viewed the many outstanding murals around town, and had a great seafood lunch at Ray’s Boathouse. There’s a Ray’s Boathouse in Seattle, too, don’t know if there’s any connection.
The pix of puffins (one each: horned and tufted), jellyfish and the sea lion were taken at the Alaska SeaLife Center here in Seward. The Center is impressive: it’s an aquarium, sea bird aviary and marine research facility, a bit like the one in Newport, OR, but more research oriented.
The terrain and vegetation near Seward remind me of Switzerland a little, very scenic with mountains all around, most of them with snow in the valleys and on the north slopes.
It was raining and foggy in the morning but that tapered off later; it remained overcast but no rain for most of the day. We opted out of the excursion boat cruise.

I had one humdrum activity, re-anchoring one of the lag bolts that hold the RV awning framework to the upper edge of the sidewall. It was not done right in the first place, so I had to get a longer bolt and drill the hole deeper. We don’t use the awning much but it’s nice to have out when it’s raining, provides a covered ‘patio’ and entry area about 10’ x 14’. We both love the outdoors and get RV fever if we have to stay cooped up inside.
The other pix are of Exit Glacier and Resurrection Bay; Trish is going to do another guest blog that will include pix of several murals.
