Lauri, Jacque, and Bard are sitting on the tailgate with everything loaded and ready to head to the ferry at 10:30 am (the fact that it didn't sail until 6:00pm didn't mean we were anxious or anything)
We sailed Sat. and Sun. then went into port in Ketchikan at 7:00 am Monday...only had three hours but found the town to be great. Back on the boat and sailed overnight to Juneau on Tuesday am....again we docked at 7 and returned to ship by noon. Wed. am was a 5:00 stop in Yakatat, but didn't get off cause we only had an hour and it was too early for everyone! While on the ferry we met so many nice people from all over and played cards, worked jigsaw puzzles, watched movies, saw whales (not close enough to get a good picture) saw glaciers, gorgeous sundowns and just lots of fun.
That all ended when we left Yakatat and hit 9 - 10 foot swells. Everyone just kind of danced down to our cabin and spent the day on our bunks. Got into to Whittier Thurs. at 5:00 and to our cars by 6:00 am. drove off and headed to Anchorage!!! Drove about 30 minutes to Girdwood to a bakery we heard about theat had the best cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted. It measure about 4" by 4" and with an endless cup of coffee cost $5.00. (prices have not been as high as we thought they would be...might be different when we travel to more remote places) BUT NO SALES TAX.
We are in Anchorage until Sunday and have been to the Indian Cultural center, for a sled dog ride, toured a Musk Ox farm, and checked out the fabric stores (I am with 3 quilters and knitters) Tomorrow is a hike to Flat Top Mtn and the Blueberry Festival downtown.
Will try to update at our next stop...................love, Gypsy Joyce
