An Alaskan Visitor

Mary Lou tells of Leslie and her niece's friend . . . with the idea that maybe the friend should visit other areas as well. So I brought her to Kenai and gave her a tour . . . come along with us . . .

lots of pictures ahead - dial-up users, please be patient.

after all of the touring around - one gets a bit thirsty
this is purported to be the oldest such establishment
in Kenai - it is definitely a landmark.


Well, I enjoyed the quick tour - there is a lot more I wish I could have shown you all, but time ran out and I wanted to get this up for MaryLou and Leslie. I'll try to do this again in the summer - with the PurpleMoose along with me - you'll get a whole different look at Kenai then.

have a wonderful day, everyone.
