Ketchikan, Alaska

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

According to our cruise log, we crossed the Canada/U.S.A border at 1:16 AM.

We got off the ship and noticed the free shuttle to Walmart, just in case there is no Walmart in your home town.

We stopped at the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau for a map.

We walked to Creek Street, a pedestrian thoroughfare consisting of wooden boardwalks. We watched the salmon swim upstream. Ketchikan is known as the Salmon Capitol of the World. We visited the shops at Creek street and then went to the Tongas Historical Museum.

We stopped at the Pour House, 324 Dock St, Ketchikan, AK for a coffee break.
