Yesterday was a sea day and very relaxing. We found the spa, exercise rooms, game room, pottery area, inside and outside pools and jacuzzis. We played pinochle with John and Julie.
Today we sailed into Ketchikan, Alaska which was the first city in Alaska. It is larger than Skagway and interesting. today it is 57 and drizzling. John and Julie took a land tour that included a fishing trip to catch salmon, octopus, crab and herring. they were cold, but said it was really interesting. We went to a logging camp demonstration that was interesting. The loggers were divided into 2 teams and the audience were divided into 2 teams to support them. The loggers shimmied up a big tree to cut it down and once down they stood on the logs in the river. And of course, the loggers displayed their muscles with many ohs and ahs from the audience.
Our only disappointment was we weren't in port long enough to do anything; just 3 hours. You need longer than that to really feel the flavor of the town.
