This is the view from our RV, parked in Seward on the edge of Resurrection Bay. As always, there is still plenty of snow in the mountains across from us.7/7/10, Wednesday: Left Anchorage for Seward in beautiful sunshine, but ran into rain on the way which stayed with us for the rest of the day. We made a stop at the Portage Glacier National Park on the way which had wonderful exhibits and a 20-minute video of glaciers and their effects on nature. There were two cruise ships docked in Seward while we were there, most likely for passengers who wanted to go fishing. There were many charter boats in the harbor.
On Thursday, a free day for us, we went to the Alaska Sealife Center, which is dedicated to the study and preservation of Alaska's marine wildlife and birds. It is the first cold-water research center in the Western Hemisphere. We took a one-hour back-of-the-house tour and then spent two more hours wandering through the many exhibits of Alaska's marine wildlife and birds. We saw harbor seals, Stellar sea lions, sea otters, puffins and other sea birds, as well as many other species of sea life around Alaska.
