It was a cold and wet touristy kind of day. We pulled into port at Ketchikan, Alaska this morning. What a beautiful town!
We took a walking tour of Totem Bight, followed by a logger show. Totem Bight is a State Historical Park dedicated to preservation of the art of totem poles. They have some very old totem poles as well has some which are still being carved. It was all very interesting and fun, only slighly hampered by the rain and cold temperatures (we are in Alaska, you know).

After a long, interesting day, we saw a whale near our ship while leaving port.
