them to play with. Anita talked for hours about the life of Oldbelievers, their habits and a famous discussion from 1985. She plans to move to Hawaii after she retires. I hope she'll find time and enough energy to write a book about all she's witnessed in Nikolaevsk. No doubt it would be bestseller.
In the meantime we visited Homer one more time to find out we would not go hiking in Kenai Mountains. The only guy that charted air-taxis say he would never take us to Burns Lake, as our plan is too dangerous and he is not willing to take any responsibility. And they say it's free country...

Not very impressive for Europeans, but Alaskans seem very proud of it. They even call it 'the old town'. This time the service was held in a Church by two priests - Russian and Eskimo. This is very unusuall experience to take part in Orthodox mass in English, Russian and Native Eskimo languages. Father Makary was very happy to chat with us in Russian, and showed us his most valuable treasure. It was a gospel according to Matthew printed in St.Petersburg back in 1840s translated into... Aleutian language! Russian missionairies were first to introduce written letters in languages of native Alaskan people. These letters were of course Cyrillic alphabet.
