Day 16

Thursday - Today we got a late start. Since it was late till we got a campsite we did not check our email till morning after getting up around 8:00. The modem was awful slow so it took a lot of time and it was way too slow to be able to update the blog. We drove to Seward today, another fishing town which was a 300 mile drive. If you have been following us on a map you can see that the towns of Skagway, Valdez and Seward are on the bay in the southern Alaska. To get to these towns from the north you need to drive over the mountains. Since there is only one road you need to go back the way you came unless you take the ferry. What amazes us is how God created each one of these mountain passes so different and how the scenery is unique on each drive. Pondering this I was reminded that each one of us is created uniquely and just as the mountains praise God by showing their splendor, each one of us must bloom where and how He has created us. Not looking at others and wishing we were like someone else but to be the person that God has created thereby giving Him the glory He deserves. We did get to Seward by 5:00, got the last campsite available, checked our email and went to town. We got back about 9:30. The clouds were low so we didn’t get the best pictures
