1,800 miles away

 Finally made it to Alaska to spend a week with Bryan!  I flew out of Salt Lake at 8:00. Stopped in Seattle to change planes, then headed on to Ketchikan AK.  Waited for 4 hours in the tiny airport and took a float plane over to Bryan's town!  Usually its two planes and two ferries but this time only three planes. Sounds a little better, right? 

 This is a float plane at the dock similar to the one I flew on.
 I was the only passenger so I got to sit in the cock pit next to the pilot.  Pretty cool!  Even though this is my third time to Alaska I was being a major tourist and taking lots of pictures.

 Bryan and I love a little pizza parlor in Craig, AK called Papa's Pizza.  Bryan had already ordered it, and it was ready when I flew in :)  We always get stuffed breadsticks, and they are divine!  fluffy bread, bacon, chicken, mozzarella cheese, and delicious-ness!

 That is the island where he lives.  about 2,000 people in the summer. 
 Bryan had to fish the next day, so after he came in we went down to the dock to check out his catch.  This is him and his dad.

  1. do they have whale blubber or penguin egg pizza at your favorite little place? why oh why would you ever leave there and come back to the lower 48 when it is so beautiful there and bryan and his family have such a nice place to work and play. they certainly need a good school teacher and nurse in alaska yes?
