We were in Ketchikan, Alaska, today. We went on the Aleutian Ballad crab boat which was famous for taking on an enormous rogue wave on Deadliest Catch. Was a fun tour—I highly recommend it!! So, photos 5-7...let me just say (and some of you know this) that I am NOT good with wildlife pretty much of any kind, so this is HUGE that I am holding these and also WAY out of my comfort zone (you can see I am freaking out, lol)
1-view from our balcony in Ketchikan this morning upon arrival
2-I’m holding a prawn. For those from my home of Florida who don’t really know, like I didn’t really, prawns are similar to shrimp, but supposed to be much better (finer cuisine). And they are carnivores, whereas shrimp are vegetarians.
3-Andy is holding king crabs. They are huge!
4-Dave is holding an octopus; we learned octopi are kind of bullies
5,6-Me holding a box crab
7-Me holding an Alaskan snow crab
8-eating some crab at lunch, because Alaska, duh; but we got the appetizer that was already shucked since we’re extra like that
9-one portion of the panoramic photo I took (a little warped) of this lovely, charming town

The scenery here, in Alaska, is just breathtaking! We’ve been in Juneau today. We explored “downtown” and then took a whale-watching trip. It started out a little rainy this morning, but I’m so thankful it cleared up and ended up being a gorgeous day. It’s even warm, right now, sitting in the sun on my balcony. ☀️😀💛
1–look close and you can see a bald eagle sitting next to an American flag 🇺🇸
