Bald Is Beautiful

We stayed in a fabulous B&B last night.  Worth a couple of sleepless nights.  Eggs Benedict, papayas and home made quick bread greeted us in the morning.

We have been experiencing some computer problems.  We had to use a couple of hours today while Bob came up with a solution.

Visited the Totem Heritage Center, where one can see 19th century totems saved from abandoned Tlingit and Haida villages.

While on these small Southeast Alaska islands, we like to follow the road (usually only one) to the end in each direction.  Today we hit the jackpot--driving out one direction, we saw a single eagle sitting close by on a rock.  When we jumped out of the car to take some pictures, Jan noticed a nearby tree with at least 15 eagles roosting.  Bald is indeed beautiful!

Then driving the other direction, we caught this one sitting in a tree posing for us.  (On a deserted stretch, we spied a black bear that scampered away before we could take a picture.)

We've now had two days of rain, but the scenery is still magnificent.

Note to Ginny:  If you were in Ketchikan on June 30th, sorry we missed you, but here's a picture of your ship.
