just came back. My opinions about Ketchikan

Ketchikan: we went to creek street to see salmon (7/9), no luck. Now you do not even bother it since the locale residents say  that salmon season will be over by the end of July. We went to Saxman Village. $5 for the entry ticket , not expensive but all you could see are totem posts and two houses (only open to the tourist group; if you go there alone, sorry, you cannot come in). We went to Bight State park. What you see are still totem posts and one house (this one you can get in). You can take the bus (grey line) to both places. The bus fair is  $2 for each trip, or $5 for the day pass. The bus stop is close to the cruise dock. Later on the bus a local resident recommends that the misty fjord is really good. I enquired about the price at a shopping mall nearby, which is $199. It is not a bad deal compared it with the price on the cruise, $219. There was a long waiting line at a restanrant in the shopping center (very close to the dock), a guy from another cruise told me that his friend told him that the food was good. He joined the line but I did not.
