Both these towns are extremely primitive. In Petropavlovsk we enjoyed going to a "farm" outside town where they trained sled dogs and ate lunch on wooden planks with unlimited vodka. Many complaints about the bus transportation and condition of the road but this is Russia! Dutch Harbor had no tours. There is a shuttle bus into town taking something over an hour with five stops. Some people took it to the end and then walked back stopping to see the church, cemetary, military museum, etc. The weather has cooperated and the day was pleasant and cold with many, many bald eagles circling the sky. Stan and I are on for the four months and are ready to go home but also looking forward to Alaska. I plan on buying genuine smoked salmon, not lox.
