Alaska - Day 6

Short post for yesterday's events (since we never seem to hear from our daughter).  She has texted us a couple of times and has called once and she's been gone for six days already.  She must be having a lot of fun!

This is what was planned for yesterday:
  • Hear experiences and stories about farming in Alaska on a family farm whose owners go four generations back. Learn from a real Alaskan farmer about which produce grows well and about Alaska’s own “Alaska Grown” program, encouraging Alaska resident to buy local.  
  • Travel the scenic Parks Highway and stop to explore the Indian Burial Ground at Eklutna. 
  • Enjoy a special People to People moment when you learn about the history of the Russian Orthodox Church in the area. Meet Father Mikel (if Available), who will join your group to share about the history and grounds of the Russian Orthodox Church.  Afterwards, enjoy some time to explore and read about the Russian Orthodox in Alaska.
Hay ride:


They also went to an open air market.  Livvi's doing something on the ground here (behind the girl in yellow):
