We are having a great time on the Alaskan Cruise. I had a few minutes of down time so I thought I would post a few pictures of the port we stopped at today, Ketchikan.
Near the southern most tip of Alaska's panhandle sits a sleepy town squeezed between mountain and sea. We took the Misty Fjord Floatplane Adventure and it was amazing! We soard over Misty Fjord, the second largest wilderness area, aboard a floatplane. An exhilarating water landing in the Misty Fjord gave us the opportunity to step out on the plane's floats where we savored the incredible views.
After our excursion we met up with friends, Chris and Mandy, and walked the town. We also took a cab to Saxton Totem Park to experience the rich living culture of modern day Southeast Alaskan Natives and really so Mandy could put pictures of totem poles in her scrapbook! LOL!
We are back on the boat ready for an evening of fun comedy after dinner. Tomorrow our stop is Juneau, Alaska which is the capital of Alaska and we will be traveling to Mendenhall Glacier. Hope I'll have some time to post tomorrow. The ship is pushing back from the dock! I'll leave you with a picture of our ship from the floatplane as we were taking off.
Have a great evening!
Looks like you are enjoying your well deserved trip!! Have a great "refreshing" time!
