Ketchikan, Alaska Day 6

I promise, tomorrow will be the last of my Alaska pictures. This is another double-wide post for you, of days 5 and 6. The following pictures are from day 6, Ketchikan. The next post is from day 5 of the glacier. The Word of the Day is at the bottom of the next post. As with the other posts, if you wish to view more pictures from our Ketchikan stop, GO HERE.

We went to see a lumberjack show in Ketchikan. It was really a lot of fun. They scaled trees, chopped logs close to their feet, competed in cutting pieces of of logs, threw axes, did some carving, and of course, my favorite, log rolling. I think it's amazing that these guys can stay on the same log, and not fall off for quite awhile.

Here are the boys posing with the lumberjacks. The gray team is "Team USA," and the plaid team is "Team Canada." Some of these guys have been on TV, in real lumberjack competitions, and are national champions. They were all really good. Check out Quinn's pose. Surprised?

Dolly's House (the one to the right) was a house of...evening activities, shall we say. You can take a tour, but you have to go through with a "lady of the evening." We didn't go in. It's tiny. We got the idea from outside. This house is on Creek Street, which borders the river. The river houses many salmon during salmon season. In fact, Ketchikan is known as the salmon capital of the world.

Ketchikan is such a cute little city. It was my favorite port. Such charm. We saw lots of eagles here on our last Alaska cruise, but this time, I only saw one.

The view of the city, from the ship.

The next post has pictures of our second sea day, the day we cruised near the glacier. They are my favorite pictures.
