KETCHIKAN, ALASKA
Friday, July 8th

Another location only accessible by airplane or boat!  Man, I think I would feel very isolated.  I suppose if you are used to it, it would not be a problem.
 The excursion today would be on a catamaran out to the MISTY FJORDS.  This was one that I was really excited about because I have been wanting to see the Fjords in Denmark and Norway....these will have to do until I can get there.
 Here again, we were not disappointed with what we saw and did.  Just wish we had more time to enjoy the beauty of it.
 We passed this little island on the way out to our destination.
 Again, you would have to say these are spectacular!  And again...worth the trip out there.
 We actually saw several EAGLES along this route.  Hard to get pictures of them though.
 A little family shot......Crew was taking a nap inside.
 Native Alaskan Indians live in these parts.  They had great TOTEM POLES everywhere.
They had some great STATUES around as well.  Love them....
 MATT is a native Alaskan Indian that was on board our boat.  He told us lots of nice things....and showed us some things he had made.  Too bad he didn't have any for sale!
 More shots out on the top deck of the catamaran.
 This was a cool find......that is an OLD INDIAN PAINTING on the side of these rocks.  A circle with dots coming out from the circle.  
Another FUN FILLED DAY and still enjoying our sights.
