Our ship, the Crown Princess docked at Ketchikan Port, Alaska in the morning. Roy and his painting group left for Ketchikan town early to paint. We tried catching up by rising earlier than usual too. It was raining that morning. We knew the artists would be painting at this picturesque place called Creek Street, so we followed suit. It was a good thing for us the place was not yet teeming with crowded tourists, that Lucas, Martha and I got to enjoy the serenity and unique beauty of the area, much to our delight.
Ketchikan, Alaska - it was a wet morning. We went first to the visitor center, Martha took hold of a map, and we proceeded to explore the beautiful place.
An overcast day.
Following the map, we passed through some commercial area, went through a short tunnel, walked a few, and wallah, we reached Creek Street.
At Creek Street.......so uniquely beautiful....
Very picturesque. Fortunately it was still empty of crowds.
The shops were just opening. So pretty!
We decided to visit a quaint museum. The Dolly House Museum - the house of the last legal madam of the district.
An interesting story and place to see.
We enjoyed Creek Street so much., visited lots of shops and bought a lot of things. Here Lucas was interested to have pictures taken with wooden bear carvings.
Chainsaw carvings....My husband works in a hardware, he sells a lot of chain saw by the way.
Artists at work.
Can we have another shot of the beautiful place?
On our way down from Creek Street. It was really worthwhile to have a head start. Look at the streamline of visitors teeming in...
Being a mason, my husband took delight in taking Masonic temple pictures during his travel.

I like taking picture with quaint beautiful houses though.
And memorable and historical places too. Hehehe.

Goodbye Alaska, it was so nice to be here. We'd come to love you during this short voyage.
Thank you my God for this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much.
