Ketchikan

We arrived about 10:00 PM on Saturday night.  Our ship was not to arrive until Monday morning.  This actually turned out to be a good thing because we got to see the town of Ketchikan without all the tourists. 

 

This is the small hotel that Continental Airlines put us up in.  It was really a nice place to stay and the people who ran it were very friendly.  We plan to go back some time.

Herring Cove was a few miles out of town and we took a taxi out to see it.  We were hoping to see some bears, but didn't get the chance.  Bald Eagles were as thick as crows and I caught this one in flight.  Wish the focus had been a little better.

To be so majestic when adults, Bald Eagles start out pretty darned ugly.
