Captain's Log Day 3

Perhaps it is the pictures I've seen or movies I've watched but Ketchikan, Alaska is just how I pictured Alaska to be. Water, mountains, forest and a small but quaint town. We are very lucky because the sun is shining and it is just beautiful out. Ketchikan is the first city you come to Long the coast and apparently is one of the rainiest around. So today there is someone looking out for us.

Zeb and I made no real plans for the day. We just piddled around town. Walked in and out of shops and art galleries. We took an incline elevator up a mountain and walked down the path that typically married men would walk when heading to the local brothel. We had fish & chips for lunch and visited the local chocolate shop.

Did get some bad news that a friend of Zeb's family had a son die in an auto accident. We our sad not to be able to attend as they have done so much for the Davison's. We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Called mom and the girls are doing well. Apparently Sydney is sleeping over tonight so that should be fun for them. We decided not to talk to then as it sometimes causes more strife and girls get upset because they are missing us.

The sun is still shining this afternoon so I'm enjoying it while I can and reading outside on the balcony.

Zeb went to see a movie on glaciers. Apparently it was prime time for a nap as well.

Got dressed up and enjoyed dinner at Tsars again. Messed up on what I ordered so I had a salad and desert which was yummy.

Calling it in early tonight as we have to be up early tomorrow. We are making our way to Juneau now and will dock in the morning.
