Kodiak, where we got close up and personal with one show off of and Eagle
We met him crossing a bridge on the way to a coastal walk with some very beautiful scenery.
Kodiak was first settled by the Russians, hence the Orthodox Church of St. Herman, the first Russian priest to come to Alaska.
Kodiak has a Russian Orthodox seminary. They recruite local natives to come to the seminary and give them free tuition and room and baord for them and their family for four years. At present they have ten students in the school. they start at different times and so they graduate one at a time, I quess always at the head of their class. This is thier chapel inside and out.
