August 8 - Petersburg, AK
 Petersburg, AK absolutely sparkles!! It's a darling town, nestled in the Inside Passage, and boasts its Norweigian heritage. Downtown buildings are often decorated with Rosemaling. It's SO pretty.
Our flight here was beautiful. We were on the Alaska Air 'milk run' which stopped first in Ketchikan, then in Wrangell, and after a low and fast 13 minutes, landed in Petersburg. When we head on - on Monday, we'll stop in Juneau before going on to Anchorage. From Wrangell to Petersburg -- I'm not certain what altitude the 737 reached, though I can assure you it was intentionally NOT much. We could see the individual trees the entire way!
 We enjoyed downtown Petersburg on Wednesday afternoon, including their quilt shop, bead shop, and galleries. Then Thursday we went with Captain Ron on a Whale Watching trip -- all day -- and roughly 50 whales were seen, including one who came over to our boat to 'check us out!'.
Today my workshops begin. I met some of the quilters at the lecture last night, and know this is going to be a terrific experience!
