Feeling more kindly towards Sitka this evening. It didn’t rain all day. However it was not warm sunny and toasty either. I overheard a woman at a coffee shop saying that she had to get out and tend to her crab pots before the big storm came. I hope there isn’t going to be a big storm or even a little one. But people that tend crab pots are usually smarter than I am about big storms.
Went out to Sitka National historical Park this morning. Listen to a ranger talk and decided to go for a walk in the park with a woman I’ve met on the plane yesterday. We figured that since there was a sign warning us about bears we would be safer if there were two of us and we were chatting as we walked so we walkie-talkied in the park. We did not see any bears. My companion was disappointed. I wasn’t. But we did see some eagles. And some tiny tiny little orchids. We would not have spied them except the Ranger told us to look for them. And we found some awesome big slugs. And lots of totem poles.
After about 2 hours of walking, my young friend and I part company. She headed off up a hill and I discovered a coffee shop.
Last night t had cheese and crackers and dried cherries for dinner. Maybe that’s going’s to be dinner again today. Peanut butter and banana sandwich was breakfast and coffee, hard boiled egg and an oatmeal cookie was lunch. I did see a taco truck. Maybe it is still outside. And, there’s always beers and bar snacks at the saloon downstairs.
