We set sail on Monday afternoon, heading for the beautiful state of Alaska. We left home at seven in the morning, flew to Seattle and were on the Lido deck of the ship eating lunch by 1 o'clock. Everything went smooth.
We are having a great time enjoying the scenery, visiting, playing a variety of games, and of course eating. Yesterday we docked in Ketchikan and we went on two very interesting tours. We first went on the Duck Tour which was full of Local Color and we came away with quite a few facts about the area and the culture. We were thrilled to see Eagles. Then we went on the Bering Sea Crab Expedition where we were on a ship used in "The Deadliest Catch" TV show. I got my picture taken with a giant King Crab which came out of the pots which I will post when we get home. They demonstrated many different styles of fishing for the various species. It was truly wonderful. I kept thinking about how much Steve would enjoy this expedition! On both tours we saw hundreds of Eagles, some as close as ten feet from us. What a spectacular site!
Each time I've been in Alaska, I've been struck by the beauty and grandeur that only a powerful God could create. More updates later!
