Today I scheduled an independent tour-- well really all of our tours were scheduled independly-- tours through the ship were too expensive and were a cattle herd of people. So I spent the time before we sailed and researched what was available and made our reservations with smaller companies. Todays tour was to Totem Bight Park. Here we learned about Totem Poles and how native americans lived. Once again the scenery was mind-blowing.... the walk through the forest amazing and the history we learned about clan housing informative. did you know that when they moved from summer housing to winter housing that they dismantled their clan house? Each family member was assigned boards to carry??? or that because the area was all rock that the dirt the trees had to grow in is only about 5 inches deep--very spongy to walk on? The trees actually wrap their roots around rocks.
After Touring we spent some time walking the city-- We went to Dollys house-- a famous madam who lived in town-- highlight of the tour?.. silk condems made into flowers on the shower curtain! hahaha ask me about it later!
It was behind Dollys house that we met an Eagle on the back porch-- Who realized how big they actually were? This one was injured and the Raptor center was trying to get him accustomed to people in small doses-- Great photo op!
Then it was on to Creek Street-- a few stores-- the local museum and then back aboard the ship--
We rushed to get ready for dinner and then went shopping in the mall on board the ship. I didn't buy anything but had a great time window shopping... unless you count buying cigarettes for $14.99 a carton..hey they may be bad for you but at half price who can resist? and they came in cute packaging.
After shopping we went to the celbrity theatre to see the comedy act of Michael James. Funny-- family fummy--
And then you know what we did next.... spent an hour or so on our veranda-- our favorite hiding place!
