Vancouver/Alaska 2007

Went on an Alaskan Cruise with my family. The cruise started in Vancouver and then went up to Whittier. Vancouver had the sketchiest Chinatown ever, but it generally seemed like a nice place. I could see myself living up there some time.
Alaska, on the other hand, I don't feel a particular need to return to. Everywhere we went (until we got to Anchorage) was either a tourist trap or depressingly run down. Anchorage was surprisingly nice, and warm. We went to the Moose Tooth Brewery, which is apparently an Anchorage institution. Great pizza and homebrewed root beer (and regular beer for that matter). Delicious




Holy crap, everything's in French too.





Welcome to Chinatown. Keep your bags (and tongues) to yourself.





Ketchikan, the capital of Alaska tourist crap.
