Friday Tour #2

The second waterfront tour included some interesting sights.

First we looked through binoculars on the roof of Pier 66.

We saw a boat at the Pier 66 marina that holds 6,000 gallons of fuel in its main tank. It costs $24,000 just to fill the tank!

Quinn's sharp eyes quickly spotted crabs, starfish, and salmon in the water.

We saw this cool bike stand/sculpture at the aquarium.

We will come back on another Friday to see Duncan Moore dive in the big fish tank.

Lauren spotted this plaque in the sidewalk at Pier 62/63.

We talked to Rick Williams while he carved a totem for his brother John. We smelled the cedar of a smaller version he was carving and sniffed the sage in his smudge pot.

We ate lunch at Ivar's and read a story about Ivar Haglund by Seattle painter William Cumming. Cumming told about Ivar's bedroom being filled with bees.

We stopped at a Stonington gallery to view Tlingit artists's work, especially a green glass octopus.

Martin picked our last stop at the Klondike Museum where we saw a replica of 1 ton of gold bars worth over $14 million at today's prices.
