We arrived at the Alaska SeaLife Center on Resurrection Bay a little after 11:00. We saw aquariums with fish that are native to Alaskan waters. We especially enjoyed watching the Stellar Sea Lion.

We went into the Seabird Habitat and watched puffins, eiders and ducks swimming and preening themselves. This one fellow was as curious about us as we were about him.

By the time we left the SeaLife Center, it was time for lunch and we looked for a place to eat lunch. We could smell hamburgers from somewhere and it was coming from Alaska Nellie's Roadhouse where we had eaten breakfast on Monday.

We checked the menu that was posted outside and Nellie's claimed to have the best burgers in town. Mike ordered the Cajun Burger with a cup of broccoli soup. I had planned on having a burger, but I saw that they had a salmon burger with provolone cheese on the menu and decided to order it with fries. Both of our burgers were served on ciabatta buns and they were great.
After lunch we drove around town to find the murals that have been painted on some of the buildings here.

Our next stop was at St. Peter's Episcopal Church to see the painting of the Resurrection painted by Jan van Emple in 1925. He was a well known Dutch artist who was living in Seward. Instead of painting the Apostles the artist painted the people and natives of Alaska and painted Resurrection Bay for the background. The door to the church wasn't locked and there was a note on the door telling you where to get the key in case the door was locked. I went inside and took photos of the painting and the sanctuary.

Our last stop was at the Seward Museum located in the Seward Senior Center. After paying the $3 a person admission, we looked around the museum. We saw artifacts from the early days in Seward and saw a 49-star American flag.

We even saw photos of Alaska Nellie and learned about her life in Alaska.

As we were driving around Seward we took photos of some of the houses that caught our eye. One house was the Ballaine House which is now a bed and breakfast.

When Mike came back in from walking Tinker, he said that the skies were clear and got the camera to take some photos. He took this photo at 11:16 tonight and you can see how light it still is even at that hour.
