| An eagle greets visitors in Ketchikan, Alaska |
One more post on Alaska.
In Ketchikan, near the pier where the cruise ships dock, is a giant wooden statue of an eagle with its wings stretched upwards and the body aiming down as if about to land.
That's because Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit word "kitsdhk-hin" which means "the spread wings of an eagle".
Our tour guide quipped that the eagle looks like it's mooning people...
