Greetings from Ketchikan. We pulled into port at 7:00 this morning.
We'll be leaving at 12:30. Short stop.
We decided against any excusions today. Instead, we decided to stroll
around town on our own.
We walked through town, and eventually found our way to the Totem
Heritage Center, and a local fish hatchery. Both were very
interesting. We were glad that we decided to walk the extra distance
to find them. It turns out that we're here, in the Salmon Capital of
the World during the salmon spawning time, so we've seen tons and tons
of salmon swimming through the creeks.
This will be our last stop in Alaska. We sail for the rest of the day
today and tomorrow, before we port in Victoria, B.C. I'm really
looking forward to that. I haven't been to Victoria since I was a kid,
and I remember really loving it there. Unfortunately, we'll only be
there from 6:00pm through Midnight, but we'll make the most of it. Our
one scheduled excursion there will an evening tour of Butchart
Gardens, which I expect will be quite spectacular.
Since we're leaving Alaska early this afternoon, I'll be "unplugged"
until we're back in port in Seattle early Saturday morning.
