Alaska...3rd Post
Well, an update on the plane crash...Susie, who is going on the same trip, same ship, tells me that the plane tours in Ketchikan has been cancelled. After three fatal crashes I think it's about time!
We found that Alaska, like other northern climes, celebrates spring and summer with beautiful flowers and plants. Here are some photos Raf took in Ketchikan while we were walking about the town. Wish we had had a car so we could have seen more of it. The people we met were totally gracious, kind, and helpful.
I did find wonderful craft stores including The Silver Thimble Quilt Shop, The Yarn Shop, and The Bead Shop.
This was on the entrance to a tunnel at the harbor.
These hanging baskets were all over town.
This is my favorite ... aren't these foxgloves gorgeous!

Although our ports of call are the same, we are on a different cruise line. I can see that might not have been totally clear from my comment.
However the flights were cancelled per a notice they sent us...
We sail RT from SF (no flying YAY!!)
hugs!

I am so very sorry for the losses these poor people are faced with. Just so tragic.
I am glad you are home safely and with all these beautiful photos!
Hugs,
Sue
That is one thing I don't like on the cruise ships, walking through the casinos to get to where you want to be.
It isn't the casino per se, but the smoke in there. I'm a reformed smoker (30 years now) and I get an instand sore throat in second hand smoke.
And we haven't been in a ship's bar yet. Disco, yes, bar, no.

You have one beautiful site. The flowers are a delight. I would love to visit Alaska and see these sights in person. Bnjoy all of it.
