We left home on Monday at 9:00 a.m.  Our friends Steve and Joanne drove us to Seward.  After having some lunch we checked into our hotel and then the four of us went for a nice walk along the waterfront.  Seward was founded in 1903 as the ocean terminus of the proposed railroad to interior Alaska.  It is also the original start of the Iditarod Trail Sled dog race which now starts in Wasilla and runs to Nome.

In the evening we met our friend Estelle from New Mexico along with two of her brothers and one of their wives who were visiting Alaska and were in Seward to go fishing!  It was so nice to see them all and we had a great time visiting over dinner.
