Sitka day 4 last day

Already funky cemetery made more so by the rain.

Nothing much today except rain and chilly.  Even the residents were grumbling a bit. But I deployed my rain gear and my rainy day plan. Rainy day plan was to stay in town and do inside stuff as much as possible.  A couple of museums and a few shops selling locally made stuff. 

For the record, Allbird weather  repellent shoes aren’t. 

I got myself mostly packed and ready to head to the airport at 5:45am tomorrow. Also bought a transit ticket to get from SEATAC to pretty near my hotel.  We will see if that works. It will be great if it does. If it doesn’t, well then I am out 3 bucks.  And a nice early dinner at my favorite Sitka restaurant 

The Beak Restaurant
And another fine dinner. Black cod tips, rice, bok choy. Affogato

Sitka is very different from Skagway. It’s a more “real” town, not a company town like Skagway. Of course it is much bigger. Sitka thinks it is sophisticated. It has an art camp and classical music festival. Skagway has a rubber ducky race and a beer festival. But, in the end, I can say that I enjoyed Sitka. 

Alaska pioneer home

This is the local old folks asylum.  There are 5 or 6 of them in the state.
