More Stanley Park 9/20/08

Stanley Park has a large collection of Totem Poles in it. There are more here than we have seen anywhere else. Each pole had a marker in front of it that told of the person who carved it and the story behind it.

There were also a large group of international tourists there. Well, I guess that we were a part of the internationals. But I was thinking more of the Japanese and Germans. Earlier we had met a German couple who had flown direct to Fairbanks from Frankfort over the artic. It took them only 9 hours. They had come to Alaska the year before to drive up to and into the Artic. And had
enjoyed it so much that they had come back this year. Maybe I will drive to the Artic Ocean some time. Watch out ICE ROAD TRUCKERS.

But back to the Totems, aren't they just amazing.



















The one on the far left was the only one without paint. It tells the story of Beaver and Raven and Man.
