Today is a sea day we will be on the ferry until 10:30
tonight, we met a group of young adults who came from all over Alaska they are
going to Ketchikan for a mission trip, going to be with the young people and
doing some teaching. We have been
invited to join them on Wed to have dinner and a bonfire on the beach we are
looking forward to it. We have seen
quite a few whales on this leg of our trip, also some seals on one of the
buoys.
I spent the day cleaning up my picture on the computer and
getting them transferred over to Ritas computer, it took many hours but passed
the time, when we got up this morning it was wet (whats new) and foggy, but as
the day went by the sun came out and it was very beautiful. The trip ended up
being very nice. The ferry stopped at
Petersburg and Wrangle, very small places but I would have liked to have stayed
a day or so on each.
We arrived in Ketchikan at 10:30 and needed to find a place
to stay, where else but good old Walmart, yes there is one here.

This morning we went into town to get a couple more charms
for the bracelet we got in Juneau these are giveaways with coupons which we
were able to get, they tell us these coupons are for the cruise ship people,
well today we were from the cruise ship, we only needed a couple more to
complete the bracelet.
We checked the town out it is one of the bigger island
towns. After lunch we went to the totem
village of Saxman, one of the master carvers was there (Nathan Jackson) he is
very famous for his carvings. He was
doing an interview for a documentary I was lucky enough to be able to see this,
he spoke about his life and how he got started in carving.
After we left him we went to Herring Bay and we were lucky
to see about a hundred eagles fishing for salmon, the run has just started, and
then we got really lucky we got to see bears fishing, so much fun to watch them
there was also a mother with two cubs.
