Seward, the Rainy City!

Our RV Park

From Anchorage we made our way to Seward and arrived on Wednesday 14th - it is hard to believe that a place as beautiful as Seward exists. It is surrounded on all sides by the Kanai Fjords National Park, Chugach National Forest, and Resurrection Bay. It is basically a very quaint town that has unbelievable scenery. It was established in 1903 and has around 3,000 people living here.

Very wet! 

Unfortunately, it was pouring - and I mean sheeting down rain - as we arrived in Seward, it stopped for maybe a total of 10 minutes the whole three days we were there.... the beautiful scenery was very hard to find! In this picture you should be looking at a whole range of mountains filled with glaciers!!

Glacier

The group, minus me (story later) took a boat trip around the Fjords. The weather and ocean were so bad that half the boat became sea sick!!!! Fredric did manage to get some great pics of Puffins and Eagles, but apart from that, the weather was too awful for photos!

I was not unhappy that I had missed the trip when I heard the stories later!

I, alas, did not do well after the root canal, and two days later Fredric and I had to drive 6 hours back to Anchorage where I went through oral surgery to deal with the abcess… not much more to say about that except at that point I loved my Percocet! I do not have fond memories of Seward!!
