July 25th

It had been several days since Jacj and I had visited the Weangell island sites.  It had also been several days since Jack had studied Japanese.  Since Janet is here, I decided to let him spend the day with her at the campsite while I took care of the sites.  

It took three truckloads of wood to cover the sites around the island - a chore that would normally require half a truckload.  It seems that the masses have chosen to recreate regardless of the weather.  

After I finished my rounds, we headed to town to see one of Janet's favorite bands, "Pearl Django" - no relation to the Quentin Tarantino movie character.  They are a group of five musicians who style themselves after the famous Belgian guitarist Django Reinhardt from the fifties.   Although there wasn't much of a crowd, the music was incredible.
