 After going to the waterfall and walking around there we walked to a close Russian Orthodox church/cemetery and museum.  One of the churches was very ornate, also very tiny.  Maybe 20 people could be in it at one time. Actually this one below is the largest.  The smaller one was one of the first buildings built in the Anchorage area built in the 1870s.
 Instead of grave stones they had these little houses.   In the early years they would put down blankets instead of flowers.  But now people bring flowers.
 Some of them were very elaborate. 
 Note the Russian design.
 Then after salmon chowder and bagels and cream cheese for lunch we went to a July 4th fair. Nothing terribly exciting.  But it was fun to see.
 A lot of reindeer burgers, hot dogs and sausages.
 A bird rescue group had 2 little owls which had been rescued.  They were cute.

We watched an episode of Wonder Woman - Nathan had gotten from the library.  That brought back memories.  Funny to see it now.  

Nathan is fixing dinner now.  Pasta, salad and jello.  Then tonight we are going on a Ghost Walk Tour.  That will be interesting.
