It's almost Christmas, and here we are finally blogging about our move to Ketchikan, which took place August 1st. Whew!
We moved from one island to another, and the only way to do that with a vehicle is by barge or ferry. So we ferried over to Ketchikan after a many, many hour delay. We left Wrangell at about 1:00 am and arrived in Ketchikan around 7:00 am. Southeast Alaska had beautiful weather this summer! Even rainy Ketchikan! Here are some of our first photos of our new home:
Christina on Creek Street. There were lots and lots of salmon spawning in the creek. One time we saw harbor seals diving in after them in the creek. It was a pretty stinky place at times with the decaying fish.

And it wouldn't be Ketchikan without the cruise ships. Thousands and thousands of people cruise Alaska and stop in Ketchikan. We lived in an apartment right above where the horses would get hooked up to their trollies to give tourists rides around town. So we would hear the clippity-clop of the horses each day, several times a day. It's pretty active in town every day of the summer. There are SO many people! I believe they can dock 4 cruise ships at one time. This is a picture of one of the biggest cruise ships I saw this summer.
