Ketchikan

This is a quaint little town, the type of place it would be nice to spend out retirement years in! We didn't have anything in particular planned for this day, so we just wandered around the town. We walked up the information center, and then took a cab up to the Eagle & Fish Hatchery to learn about salmon, and meet some eagles. As it wasn't a far drive at all, we decided to walk back to the dock from there, cutting back through the infamous Creek Street.
