Week 5 in Sitka

This was a really nice week.   Very busy at work, but I got a lot done and should be able to return to a more normal schedule this week.    I will post some photos I have taken this week in my ramblings around town.

On Saturday night there was a wedding reception across the street in the Science Center annex.  Here is the bridal party posing on the beach.  This photo was taken at about ten pm last Saturday.   It stays bright until about 11pm.

Sunday was a quiet, rainy day .   There are lots of rainy days here.   It is a rainforest after all!

On Wednesday night, I went to the last Wednesday evening concert of the Annual Sitka Summer Music Festival at the newly re-opened Sitka Hotel with Arika.   Amazing chamber music concert!

Then I was off to Ludwig's Bistro, the best little restaurant in Sitka.   The occasion was a going away dinner for Mirinda.   Conor, Mirinda, and I had great dinners and desserts along with sharing a wonderful new friendship!   

The walk home from Ludwig's was lovely.   I took this photo at about 9:15pm on Wednesday evening.  

On Saturday I went across the street to the Sitka Science Center, where there is a large Salmon hatchery and an interesting indoor exhibit with local sea urchins and other sea creatures in a touch tank.   The colors are amazing. 

We had several gorgeous sunny days this week.   When the sun is out, I  seem to take a lot of photos.  There is a window in the stairway at the hospital with the most gorgeous view. 

I did some shopping today after having a great brunch at my favorite restaurant .   Many Sitkans where these boots, Xtra tuff's, because it is wet here so much.  I decided I have to have a pair of Xtra tuffs.    Here they are!(I have big feet!!)

And I will be flying to North Carolina on Friday and will be in Oriental for a week.  So, I will take a break from posting.   Happy Fourth of July!!
