Walk Through Town

 

The first week or so we were here, I became semi unconscious.

My iron levels were low, and I was barely functioning.

I started doing better, and that's when I decided to tackle bread making.

The next day I decided I needed another goal.

I decided to walk.

The plan was originally to use the treadmill, but I decided to go outside instead.

I started by just walking down the street to the hospital.

I needed to fill out some paperwork to get my records transferred up here.

Then I went to the pediatrician office to schedule appointments for the boys.

They need to be TB tested within 90 days of starting school here.

These last two pictures were taken out the window from the pediatricians office.

The blue buildings across the water on the second picture are the airport.

As long as I was halfway down the hill, I decided to keep going and walk to Andrew's work.

Once I reached Tongass Ave, I saw this creek.

It actually runs right by our house.

But it is deep down a ravine and we can just here it from where we live.

It was fun to actually see it.

And so pretty too!

As I continued my walk, I noticed this dock area and decided to cross the street for a better view.

The pictures look a lot darker than it actually was.

And they don't capture the beauty and color of the surrounding islands.

This picture shows how low the clouds were hanging that day, although it didn't rain at all.

These are just more pictures of what it looks like to walk down the main street on the island.

You can see that the city is literally built into the mountain side.

There are a lot of really steep roads.

The one in the picture above is relatively flat compared to most of them.

And this is the road coming back out of the Plaza.

I took it when Andrew drove me home on his lunch break.

It was fun getting out and enjoying Ketchikan for the afternoon.
