Petersburg AK... aka "Little Norway"

Hello all..
The adventure began on Sunday July 14, 2013

My GSE(Group Study Exchange) Partner met me at the dock and welcome me to her Victorian style classic home.  I was given a room with a feather bed.. it cannot be beat.   Susan and a team of other non Rotarians returned from Norway this month 20 years ago.  We traveled on a Rotary Foundation sponsored education exchange.  The trip, created friends for life and an experience that motivates me in Rotary to this day.   Thank you Susan Erickson for hosting me.

I met with Petersburg Rotarians this morning and made the appeal for support for the Foundation and it's good works.  I distributed Fact Cards and leadership brochures.  I felt well received.

In the afternoon I rode the RFAR1 out to the end of the road on the Mitkoff Highway.   Was a beautiful day and only two critters spotted.. Porcupines.  Missed both.

Gas in Petersburg is $4.98 per gallon.  So quit whining..

I take a "fast" ferry to Juneau tomarrow.   Then catch a ferry to Sitka on Wednesday.
