Today we decided to drive to Ninilchik Village and an old Russian Orthodox Church we heard was there.  Ninilchik is only about 35 miles from here so we decided it would be a nice drive - it was.  Unfortunately, the church was closed so we could not see the inside, however, there was an old Russian cemetery there and it was really interesting to walk around and read the gravestones.  It is like a little bit of history.  On the way back we also stopped at another Russian village Nikolvask.  It was about 10 miles off the road but there was also another Orthodox church there.  We have noticed that the crosses at both churches and the cemetery have 3 cross bars with the bottom one tilted.  I am going to have to do some research and figure that one out.

We went up in elevation when we went for our drive and when we came back we looked out at the ocean and it looked like a heated swimming pool on a cold morning - all steamy.  It was the craziest thing - looked like a huge hot tub!  As we went down in elevation the fog got thicker but stayed mainly over the water.  It is now 7:20 and the fog is gone and the sun is out.  We took a couple pictures that I will post.

That was about it for our day.  We did go out for dinner at the Cosmic Kitchen and the food was great - expensive as all restaurants here seem to be.  I just don't understand how come halibut fish and chips is so expensive when this is the halibut capital - you would think it would be cheap since they can catch it out the back door.  Anyway, here are some pictures from today.
