It was a day full and fun. Firstly, Krishnadas and I went for our morning walk. Then Sudevi had lined up a series of events that stretched throughout the day. A.T.O.M. (Ancient Teachings of Masters), our small Anchorage group, came to listen to a woman’s life journey and it was interesting; from the perspective of her presentation, her language and evolution.
By noon time we were set up for some pooja or worship at the newly constructed Ganesh temple. This location was the former center for A.T.O.M. and is a mere two blocks away from Sudevi and Ryan’s place. How convenient! The attendees there were mostly tourists, like Krishnadas and myself. Folks came from Dallas, Orlando and Cleveland. It was Nice to unite with our Hindu brothers and sisters.
With the regular rain upon us for days we were craving to get out to see more of Alaska’s naturalness. Fog and wetness had obscured any visible beauty but we couldn’t complain. Thus far our stay has been phenomenal and, to top off today’s journey, we drove to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and, once again, it was nothing to do with a presentation I put out. I was here to watch and learn. On display were indigenous members of the wildlife community. Muskox, bison, bear, moose, caribou, and porcupine were behind fences but then I saw adequate space. The public came and appreciated. I do have mixed feelings about animals in a type of captivity but, to put it more cleverly, these creatures are in a rescue category.
Tagged onto this afternoon trip was viewing surfers as the high tide came in at Turnagain Arm’s Channel. Quite amazing!
