SYMBOLS OF OUR COUNTRY

Can you believe the trees behind our trailer have an eagle nest and we see the bald eagle soaring in the wind overhead??

  It's true, Charlie took these pictures to show you!

I am doing a personal blog of our journey in Alaska this summer.

It is called Charlie and Mary's Adventure.

MAJOR MARINE TOURS

Seward Wildlife Cruise in Resurrection Bay 

and into the Gulf of Alaska

Our boat was "Star of the Northwest".

Here's the crew from Diamond M Ranch Resort!  Marty, the llama went along for the ride!

We will boat down a waterway called a fjord.  

A fjord is a glacial valley that has been filled by sea water.

  
Steller Sea Lions sharing the space with the birds!

Bear Glacier is above, with an island of trees in front of it.

ALASKA NATIVE HERITAGE CENTER

This was one of our stops as we came through Anchorage.   It was fantastic and we learned so very much about the native Alaskans! Here are two of our guides.

The white outline on this native dress is made of  buttons.

The Heritage Center showed the diversity of five different native cultures in the way they lived in different areas of Alaska.
