We really enjoyed the excursions up the Tracy Arm Fjord and to Mendenhall Glacier. In Ketchikan, I had a lot of fun exploring Creek Street, which was their old red-light district. If we ever go back I'd love to tour the one old brothel they have that's been preserved as a museum, but it was also cool to see seals in the creek, to see a bald eagle and a Siamese cat fighting over fish guts, and to see salmon jumping up the salmon run.
In Seattle, it was just nice to visit my friend who lives there. I've known him since high school back in the 90s, when Seattle was
the city to aspire to for any teenage boy worth his salt, what with Nintendo and grunge. He was the only one of us who ever made it out there and he's been there almost twenty years now. He was the one who ferried us out to Bellevue when it turned out the Frye Museum in Seattle didn't have anything good on display this time, unlike last time when it seemed the whole art collection was out. This time it was just a handful of the collection, plus an exhibit of modern art, which I detest. Of course, it turns out the Bellevue Arts Center is also kind of crummy, but we had a good time reminiscing over how the students in the art class at our high school were churning out the same kind of crap that was on display at the Bellevue museum. Then we had a fun discussion over what it is, exactly, that elevates one piece of modern art, say a piece made of sticks and wads of wet newspaper, to museum-display status when it looks no different whatsoever from the crap that high school students are creating. That was quite enjoyable.
