Petersburg, the Norway of Alaska

To Petersburg on the ferry M/V Matanuska. We spent 2 nights at Petersburg, at Twin Creek RV Park, outside of town. Petersburg is called the Norway of Alaska. Where other towns have Elk and Moose Lodges, Petersburg also has the Sons of Norway. Lots of Norwegian influence here, in buildings, food, crafts. Beautiful little town, glacier right across Fredrick Sound, where they often see whales. Snowy mountains all around. Petroglyphs at an old native fishing area. Sing Lee Alley Bookstore. Internet at the Public Library. Slow fast food at Tina's kitchen, fish tacos and salmon burgers to eat while we waited for the ferry. Good lunch at the wharf overlooking the water. Annabel went on a long walk, saw 2 black bears fishing. We also saw several deer while we were driving around. And eagles at Eagle Roost Park.
