After spending a wonderful day in Seattle, we're in Ketchikan catching up with the cruise ship.

| Mary in Ketchikan |
As the first look of Alaska on our agenda, this little town didn't disappoint. Built up and around hills (had to take a tram from our room at Cape Fox Lodge) the town was full of personality. We stopped by the local Eagles (Mary and Charlie are members) and met some of the local people...all friendly, some natives, some transplants from other parts of the US, all willing to share their Ketchikan stories.
What was most compelling to me about the town is their pride in native heritage. Loved this park that showed native totems.

Wished I could have spent a little more time here :)

A great introduction to Alaska.
Added Note: If you have been following my blog, you'll note that after 3 days on the cruise I (procrastinator) haven't finished out our journey. Here is a quick attempt to pictorially show the highlights of the cruise as well as some of our land trips.

| White Pass Rail trip...the views were beautiful! |
