1-27 * 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!

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.

1-33 * The Chapel inside the monastic house at Monks Lagoon.

1-34 * Fr. Andrew cooking up something tasty at Monks Lagoon.

1-35 * The beach at Monks Lagoon. One wonders how closely it resembles the time when St. Herman walked upon it over 200 years ago.

1-36 * The gate to the Meeting of the Lord Chapel on Monks Lagoon. It was built some years ago on the probable site of a church built by St. Herman. The Meeting of the Lord was St. Herman's favorite Feast Day.
Comment: Sea vegetables strewn across the beach.
