Thursday was Sitka. AK and we visited the raptor rehabilitation center, a rain forest (with totem poles) and then saw some Russian folk dances. I can't really upload many pictures because of the lack of bandwidth, so here is just a taste. Sitka was a Russian colony that they settle for the purpose of Sea Otter hunting. This lead to some discord with the locals and a battle. The outcome was a division of the town between the local natives and the Russians. Latter the Russians sold the whole state to the US and we made Sitka a cruise boat stop.
