Walking Around Valdez, Alaska and Loving the Cool Mountain and Sea Air Colorful Bunnies Abound in Early Morning Quiet at Valdez, Alaska Saturday. 8. Our B&B house in Valdez was full of guests last night. Most went out for dinner. We fixed ourselves an early dinner, read for the evening and went to bed just before 11pm. We are upstairs in this large house and it’s quiet. The town is quiet. We left our window open for the fresh, cool air. We woke up and decided to quietly leave the house. We walked about 3 blocks to the earliest breakfast restaurant with seating called Sam’s Spot. It’s located inside the Eagle’s club. Breakfast was reasonable and regular. Sunday. 9. Worship at the church of Christ in Valdez. There were just a few of us in attendance. Darrell preached and led some songs for the group. A man visiting from Florida led our prayers.
