Hello again,
From Russia land fall was at Dutch Harbor. Here is the Crystal Symphony docked at Dutch Harbor.
Desolate comes to mind as a description:

The Russian Orthodox Church still has a strong influence up and down the Alaskan coast.
The Russians translated the bible into the local Indian dialects and didn’t suppress local
language and customs and still has a strong following among native Americans in Alaska. We weren’t allowed 
to go into the church but here is an outside view. Note the eagle on top of the cross on the dome:

Please view large. C&C always welcome.
