kaviiqSo! Today's Alaska Day.
It was actually kind of fun, even though Sitka's the only place in the state where it's a huge deal. I was a little disappointed that the Naa Kahidi dancers were kind of drowned out by the rest of the parade, but it's awfully hard to sing over Coast Guard helicopters.
After the parade, I went to see the re-enactment of the 1867 transfer of Alaska. The last time I saw it, the actor playing General Rousseau was in modern army fatigues. =| Thankfully, they seem to have corrected it this year and gave the actor something more century-appropriate.
Oh! I also met our new governor, Sean Parnell. He looks like he might actually know what he's doing.
In other and totally unrelated news, I seem to have settled on going as a yuurei for Halloween. I hope I can make a quick kimono by next week.
