With Table Mates
|
Our last stop today before sailing for Vancouver was Ketchikan. Another interesting town filled with tourist shops. There were only 3 other ships here when we arrived mid morning. They have 2 wonderful walking tours well planned and described. We wanted to see the local sites and this was certainly a way of doing that. It included the downtown area with stops at a number of totem poles that are around the city. It also passed a marina where we were fortunate enough to see a Bald Eagle land on the mast of a small boat. We have
been wanting to see eagles for a few days and this one seemed to appear right on cue. A visit to the former red light district (now they fleece you for the souvenirs) and a few minutes spent viewing a seal in the local stream completed the morning.
We continued to wander down to the fish packing plant where "You can see 20-30 eagles all the time. Sure; we walked almost clear out of town and never found the birds although we passed the plant twice. By that time it was afternoon so we signed ourselves in to the Moose Lodge (we are now members I think) so we could have a beer where the locals drink. We had the best fish lunch and fries ever. The beer was very reasonable as well. Now we are back and preparing for our last day at sea tomorrow before arriving in Vancouver.
