Day 16 Ketchikan and King Windbag

We returned to Ketchikan and again and I was given the chance to escort again. To my surprise I had the same guide I had two weeks ago. This time I was off to a Totem Village and salmon hatchery. I couldn’t believe how big the salmon are when they come back up stream to spawn and die. I had the daylights scared out of me while I was watching the salmon tank. A huge 40lb coho jumped up out at the water and was within 4 inches of me and my camera.. Well you can imagine the holler I let out. It was a greet day and the weather was fantastic. We almost reached 80 and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. To the surprise of all you reading this, when I got back on the ship I did my daily mile walk around the deck. On Saturday I will do the breast cancer walk again along with other passengers. It is really wonderful to see all the people who participate and the survivors themselves who lead the way. Daily mass is getting about 16 people per day and I continually meet new people. Today it was people who lived in Hartford when I did and people from NJ and NY and the occasional person wearing and Ohio State U sweat shirt. The shows are excellent but given the location of my cabin I get to hear them at least 3 times a day since my cabin is directly over the stage and the rehearse every day for at least an hour. Tomorrow its on to the Capital and all its surprises. Look out Sara Im gonna be in your backyard looking for Russia!
