Alaska: Ketchikan-kan-kan

Our last port of call was Ketchikan. This little port city is the most Southeastern city in the state. It's famous for it's totem poles, so we decided to check them out with Marimar, Oscar, and Santi. We went to Saxman Village where, in the late 30's, many native Alaskan artists were commissioned to make replicas of the deteriorating totems from around the state. Now, many of those replicas and some originals are in this location.

Totem poles are big.

Maya and Santi had a great time together at the totem poles and at dinner. We decided that such happiness should be captured in a nice smiling shot of them in their new Alaska shirts in front of our ship.

I can feel the love.
