KODIAK, ALASKA, USA - our last ALASKA PORT
View of our tender coming into the port of Kodiak, Alaska. We have gotten to see so much of this wonderful state.
In our port talk about Kodiak they told us there was a mural walk around town, but we could only find these 2 and the information center was closed, so no luck. Again the closest I got to seeing a bear was these hugs from the statue outside of the Wildlife center.
Only interesting building I found strolling the downtown was the Russian Orthodox Church which was also closed, so I took the interior photo thru the window. I joined the bulk of our passengers at the local Walmart and stocked up on provisions I might need over the next year as we head to Japan and the far East.
The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces from the Qing Dynasty. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
BeiJing, used to be Peking - so we had to have the famous Peking Duck!
We left the Great Wall and went to THE MING TOMBS - however we were disappointed to find there was nothing there except the grounds.
