1-31 * Sea vegetables strewn across the beach.

1-32 * The unfinished monastic building on Monks Lagoon, which contains a trapeza, chapel, small library, and sleeping areas for at least a dozen people.
Comment: Our first glimpse of Monks Lagoon, with the unfinished monastery barely visible. The monastery was built in part by New Valaam Monastery and is currently maintained by them. May God grant that one day monasticism will flourish in Monks Lagoon. Through the prayers of St. Herman of Alaska!
