Cruise Day 6

Ah, Ketchikan. I didn't really see much of it, actually. We spent nearly the entire time there doing a shore excursion. It was well worth it though. Nothing says "Alaska" like soaring thru the treetops, right? It was so much fun!! A little scary when they tell you that all these tall tall trees are supported by just 3 feet of topsoil though. Here is a view of where we were going to go up to, taken from below (that itty bitty platform you can see just above the treeline.)
There was also a suspension bridge we got to cross. Fun!



Zip zip zip!!

Oh yes, I am happy.
At the end we repelled down from a platform, and then went down this very steep very long slide. Which we were assured by our guides was the most dangerous part of the whole tour.
That night we had the pleasure of wearing silly chef hats, watching the wait staff perform the "napkin ballet," were accompanied by a lady dressed like a salad, and generally just had a silly good time.

Following that we went to the Dessert Extravaganza. It certainly was extra-vaganza. There were at least a hundred different cakes and pies and fruit carvings and ice sculptures. After they allowed some time just for pictures, then we gorged ourselves on all those yummy desserts.



And here's our monkey man. Good night and one more day to go!

Wa, it look like that you have an unforgottenable experience. Eerything looked just beautiful with bridal jewelry set and pearl necklace.But if you also wear pearl drop earrings would be more perfect.
