Seward is named after William H. Seward, who lobbied to have Alaska bought from the Russians. It is not pronounced, as we initially thought 'Seaward', as in 'towards the sea, but rather 'sewered', as in 'past tense of of the verb 'to sewer''. Despite the pronounciation, the place is very picturesque... similar to Valdez... we're still trying to decide which we like more.
Today we planned on Hiking Mt. Marathon and going to see Exit Glacier, but Carole was not feeling 100%, so we decided to have a down day and hung out in the sun and read. This is quite a pretty place, with the sea, mountains, and glaciers all within view.
