Ketchikan

Monday, September 19, 2011

The weather cooperated for us to walk the streets of Ketchikan. It was easy to see why it is the "Salmon Capitol of the World". Even though it is very late in the season, there were still hundreds of salmon and trout in the waterways.
We wandered past some totem poles and over to the famous Creek Street to Dolly's house. She is the most famous of the "ladies of the evening" from the Gold Rush days.
This is the last week for tourism, so there were lots of great sales to be had. After this week all the shops will close for the winter.
We made it back to the ship before the rain set-in. The evening consisted of enjoying a great comedian, and LOTS of dancing. We were chosen for the twist contest at the Sock Hop, won a bottle of champagne as the "Most Romantic Couple" and then moved to the Wheelhouse Bar where we danced the remainder of the night to the ship's orchestra. Another GREAT day!
