The joy of life does not come principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us, it's in everything & anything that we can experience. We just need to change the way we look at those things.

Creek Street

 
My last full day in Alaska.  With a beautiful day, I took to the streets for a walking tour.  Visited the Totem Heritage Center where original 19th century totem poles that were retrieved from uninhabited villages are on display.  Most all the totem poles I saw yesterday were re-carved by Native carvers. Should have visited this before the parks!

Too early to see salmon at the fish ladder in Ketchikan Creek.  Explored "Creek Street" which is next to the creek with a boardwalk & all the buildings on pilings.  In 1902, the area became a "red-light" district until 1954.  Now has historical homes, restaurants, shops, & museums (Dolly's House) ...quite interesting!
