Firstly, and most importantly, I've found no art or architecture. So far.
After 3 days, and I've only just discovered that there's a store…
St. Paul has a store. It's closed.
But if you're interested in buying a machine...
The machine shop. Also closed.
Maybe everyone is enjoying the local night / afternoon life...
But maybe there'd be more going on in town if people could actually leave their houses...
When it's not foggy, there is actually a pretty Russian Orthodox church in the center of "town." (actually, even when it is foggy, I suppose the church is still there.)
The town center.
For us, the highlight is the Trident company fish cannery...
The Trident halibut and crab cannery.
This is where we eat our 3 meals a day, which for our first two days had no electricity or heating.
Cold people eating cold food...in the cold.
As if this wasn't serious enough, they also have problems with soy sauce and bedrooms…(and, apparently, verb selection)
Here's where the cannery workers live…
Cannery dorm. For fun add soy sauce.
Maybe the vernacular architecture is not the prettiest, but it sure is a welcoming and friendly place...
Or not...
Looks like you're making the most of your extra time in St. Paul! Thanks for the lesson :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully this hasn't ruined the non-birding tourist industry here...
