Sitka- where Russian, Tlingit and American customs meet.

On our way to Sitka we spotted this Sitka deer, moseying along the bank of the channel we were traveling.  It was a cool, drizzly morning and she seemed oblivious to our presence.  The wildlife, in general, has been sparse this trip.  Oh, lots of humpbacks- NO orcas- and lots and lots of birds of every size and kind.
One of the highlights of walking about in downtown Sitka is St. Michael's Cathedral.  The current edifice replaced the original one which burned.  Although the locals told us this was only the fourth day of sun for their summer, we enjoyed two sunny days during our four day stay!
