This Morning in Hope

Early this morning, I was able to get lots of photos of a mama moose eating tree twigs behind a RV across from our along the river bank. She had twins at her feet. They looked at me as if to say, "Surely, you have enough photos!"

On the way to Seward, we took the Exit Glacier road as a side trip. Eight miles later the road was blocked, "No Admittance". We had a heck of a time getting turned around as the right-hand side was filled with vehicles parked.

Arriving in Seward, we first visited the Alaska Sealife Center and the end of the main road in town and watched the Harbor seals play in their giant aquarium.

All along the harbor are about 400 city-owned RV and tent spaces. We got a space in the second one just one block from the main shopping district. It drizzled harder today, all day long. It didn't stop me from going uptown to shop, though. The True Value store is two floors of everything under the sun except groceries. They did have soda and snacks. Seward appears to be a couple miles long but only three blocks wide.
