You can just barely make out the dorsal fin of an orca whale in the middle of the picture. Hey the bus driver wouldn't let us out. She just stopped so that we could get a picture or two.
Oh, there's my cutie now in his "Race for Mace" shirt!
The totem poles in Alaska were so cool. Limo Man is not very tall standing next to them.
Yeah baby, I did it!!! (punch, punch). Hey, we BOTH faced our fears and got 'er done! That cute couple behind me were just married the weekend before in Sacramento. They were so cute!
Since Limo Man's group finished before us he was waiting for us when we were done. This is my group of "zippers" with our guide Maverick in the lead.
We took a 30 minute bus ride up into the forest outside of Ketchikan to the Canopy Zipline Experience. They then put us on this Mercedes rock climbing vehicle that took us up a really steep muddy road to the hut where they gear you up for your experience. And let me tell you it was definitely an experience! Limo Man and I are both afraid of heights and since this excursion was MY idea I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Needless the say I had to make a deal with God the night before. We got separated into 2 different groups when we got there because no one in any of the other groups was willing to be separated. Limo Man was the first to go and he was cursing me the first couple of times he "zipped" but after that he faced his fears and was okay. Me, I was hugging the trees. Hey, we were up really high!
If you look just above the lifeboat on the right and count in to the second and third set of windows that was our balcony. We had 2 chairs and a small table and 2 large lounge chairs. It was so much fun to snoop on the balcony!
This is the main street of Ketchikan. If you can't read the sign it says Welcome to Alaska's first city. "Ketchikan the Salmon capitol of the world". Funny because we found that all they sold was jackets and jewelry, jewelry and jackets. Hmmmm....
Of course I missed pulling into port because I was sleeping but Mr. Night Owl, Limo Man, was up with the dawn. Did he ever go to sleep?
