点评:Whittier is a small Oceanside town. When I got off the train, I chose to walk around the quaint town before getting on the ship. The 14-story Begich Towers is where the people of Whittier live. It also houses the Post Office, church, etc. I spoke with several teenagers that were in the lobby to find out more about life in one building! They told me about photographs hanging in the first floor hallways that showed the town’s history. I enjoyed looking at those. Then they told me about their school directly behind the towers. Whittier is a very different town located about an hour from another bigger place that the citizens of Whittier have to drive to shop and go for medical care. Whittier also has a small hotel, a grocery/hardware store and the Prince William Sound Museum. The museum is in the same building as the grocery/hardware store. Whittier is a very walkable small town, so If you have time before your cruise it’s worth the walk!
翻译:惠蒂尔是海边的一个小镇。下火车后,我选择在登上轮船之前先在这座古色古香的小镇里逛一逛。惠蒂尔人住在 14 层高的贝吉奇塔楼里。这里还有邮局、教堂等。我和大厅里的几个青少年交谈,想了解更多关于大楼里的生活!他们告诉我,一楼走廊上挂着一些照片,展示了小镇的历史。我很喜欢看这些照片。然后他们告诉我,他们的学校就在塔楼后面。惠蒂尔是一个非常不同的小镇,距离另一个更大的地方大约一小时车程,惠蒂尔的居民必须开车去购物和就医。惠蒂尔还有一家小旅馆、一家杂货店/五金店和威廉王子湾博物馆。博物馆和杂货店/五金店在同一栋楼里。惠蒂尔是一个非常适合步行的小镇,所以如果你在乘船前有时间,步行是值得的!
