Headed to Anchorage!

July 23 – Today was a driving day with a lot of backtracking.  We were on most of the roads we came in on to Homer.  We were excited to learn we would have full hook up sites that are pull thru as well.  That meant we could catch up on the laundry!

We actually didn’t go directly to the campground but to the Native American Heritage facility.  We watched and listened to a couple of groups playing and singing Native songs and music.  They used instruments they hand made in the same fashion of their ancestors.  They were mostly young people who have learned from their elders the ways of their people.

They have a small museum of artifacts to view and 6-8 native artisans with displays of their work that was for sale.  They did beautiful work with jewelry and nick-nacks.  Then they had a native lady speak to us about their heritage and ways of life.  She spoke about the varied “tribes” in the area and said some things in her native togue.

After that we had a guide take us through the “village” that has been built to replicate a native village.  It was a very interesting presentation but the guide was not a good speaker. 

Then we were released by the wagonmasters to head to our RV sites.  We opted to stop on the way and fill up with fuel first.

Once the dust settled we went into town for groceries and to just take a look around.  We had a nice dinner out and it was time to call it a day!
