Alot of tourists who come here in the summer dont know that it is part of the US....sad but true....

Oh, and the boots are a brand here that is called Extra Tuff.....probably the same boot, just sold under a different name....LOL

I was in Seward, Ak for the 4th. I had a blast watching the race. I stayed right on the bay. I was one of the lucky ones who got a seaside spot.

Ahhhh, so you are one of the tourists that comes and fills up our town for the 4th.... :lol: , just kidding. But can you tell the others to drive a little faster, we do only have one road here. I got a few shots of the race, but nothing that great, i was to busy eatting the deep fried halibut and corn fritters, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
