6-25-06 SITKA: We arrived at our last stop in the early am. Judy had us all packed and ready to go the night before. After breakfast, we had a city tour starting with the Russian Orthodox Church which has lots of icons. Then we did the raptor center which is similar to VINS but has more eagles than owls. The Sheldon Jackson College Museum has a huge collection of native art and artifacts. Sitka gets 100” of rain per year. We can attest to that, a lot of it came down on our tour. However, I would guess that 100” per year makes it one of the dryest spots in SouthEast AK. Finally to airport for flight to Seattle and then Newark.
