After our crab tour, we walked around Ketchikan, “The Salmon Capital of the of the World”.
As you can see, it was still drizzly, so we did not spend as much time here as I would have liked.
We took a short walk to Creek Street, a cute little shopping area.
It is built on top of an actual creek!
We followed the signs the salmon ladder, but we were too early for the season.
On our walk we experienced why much of Alaska is considered to be a temperate rainforest. The air was so moist even though it was cool.
We started walking back to the ship since it was almost time for dinner.
Salmon-colored federal building.
Whale-shaped bench.
Upon re-boarding, we were greeted with hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies!
Our dinner rotation had us at Triton’s. The menu feature Alaskan “Regional Inspirations”.
Clockwise: Beefsteak Tomato and Vidalla Onion Salad; Marinated Tiger Shrimp; Thai Red Pumpkin and Coconut Curry (vegetarian entrée, just because I was curious); Alaskan King Crab Legs (yum!)
Both of the kids had Fettuccine with Parmesan Crusted Chicken.
Both D and I had the Oven-Baked Lobster Tail.
I had already started digging in when our server offered to cut the lobster meat out of the shell for me. Oops! This was definitely one of my food highlights for the week.
Dessert Menu
Apricot Trio; Rasberry Crème Brulee; Chocolate Lava Cake
Yes, it was all good! Julie, one of our servers, presented the kids with calligraphy she did with their names; very sweet.
After dinner, we returned to a towel monkey. I took k and n to the gift shop where they each bought a Captain Mickey Tsum Tsum. Meanwhile, D went to guest services to reserve a placeholder for a future cruise!
The evening entertainment was a magic show by David Gatti. He put on a good show, and made us wonder, “How did he do that??”
Our Alaska stops were now officially over, and we were headed back to Canada.
