We arrived in Ketchikan at 6:30 in the morning. The ship docks right at the town so it was easy to walk around the there. There are a ton of jewelry stores, there were diamonds, tanznite that is only mined in one place in Canada, a new gem with the colors of the rainbow in it called Ammolite, pearls and black coral. There was also the normal shops of tee shirts and souveniers. Just to get the idea of how big the ship is, Dave took this from 2 blocks from the dock and the building is 2 stories high. No mater how far we walked, the ship was right there.
At one end of the small town was the lumberjck show that we went to. They are real lumberjacks that compete in those national lumberjack shows on ESPN. They put on a great show and were alot of fun. Our MC, Jan, was great at stiring the pot and getting everyone to cheer. They did all kinds of compitions.
Ketchikan is the first city in Alaska and pretty small but VERY busy, when the cruise ships come in. As soon as the last ship is pulling out the doors close and the employees go fishing!!
The weather was beautiful again and we can't believe our luck with it and we hope it holds. Tomorrow is Juneau, the Capital of Alaska.
We saw the comdian, Phil Tag's full show tonight. Poor dad got a very drunk lady next to him who was slurring at the top of her lungs and was laughing like a donkey at all the potty jokes, but all the others sailed right over her head and she was stupified. Good thing there were more deep jokes than potty ones :). He was great and has a web site.... www.comicphiltag.com... I think. You can check it out.
Love you all...
