The Fishermen's Memorial included names carved into a wall, a medallion sunk into the pavement, and this interesting cross made up of Josephine knots.

This stubby police boat had rubber bumpers built into its bow. The ravens were plentiful out on the trails and also in the town. We enjoyed their wide variety of calls and vocalizations.

 
There was a tram from town to the top of Robert's Mountain, but we opted to stay in town. First Nations' art adorned the town in many ways.

We cruised by the famous Red Dog Saloon and then stopped by the Gunakadeit Park, a small respite in the middle of town.

The gates are adorned with highly polished metal art.

   
Historic buildings have been repurposed, but without altering their looks--this was a sporting goods store.

A parking lot mural was rich with detail...

St. Nicholas, a Russian Orthodox Church, is the oldest of its type with its octagon shape. It's undergoing repair and so was closed to visitors. It was successful here because services where conducted in the native language and the missionaries wrote down the language taught the natives to read.

 
A tree-climbing girl behind the church posed for a photo.  We then descended a flight of stairs to the next level in town.

On this level the State House B & B offers accommodations for visiting dignitaries. Prairie house features abound in this neighborhood.

From the front the Governor's House looks like pretty much any other, but the totem on the side and the Welcome to Alaska! sign gives it away as not being from Anywhere, USA.

We passed the Tribal Court House.

We went back to the ship for our computers and came back out for a third time to check our email in the library, which was located on the top floor of a parking garage and featured this stained glass window.

The next day we would be going to Icy Strait Point, a privately-owned cruise destination–the only one in Alaska. It's similar to Half Moon Cay and other private destinations in the Caribbean, only with an Alaskan experience.
