The next day on our cruise found us in
Sitka, Alaska, a quaint, small Alaskan city known for it's fishing industry (as well as being the city where The Proposal was set, although the film was NOT filmed in the actual city of
Sitka). Bryce and I wanted to check out the "cathedral" first-the night before each excursion day, the cruise line gives you a map of the city where we would be porting and different sites around the city. Based on this info given to us, we thought this cathedral would be cool. Funny thing about is, when we got there, in order to get into the actual cathedral you had to pay a 5 dollar donation-but it wasn't a donation, it was mandatory! The cathedral turned out to be a small church. It had it's little perks, but not 5 dollars worth! After spending about 10 minutes in it, we decided to go explore some shops in the city. Our favorite one was the Chocolate Moose. They sold yummy chocolate, as well as cute crafts. We both spent some money in there! It was a fun site seeing city, so beautiful with water surrounding it, as well as big, green mountains. My favorite part of
Sitka was this boy singing American Pie. He was probably around 11 years old, and sang and play the guitar so beautifully. My heart melted, and I could have sat and listened to him perform all day! That night was the second formal night of dinner. After a yummy dinner and a fun performance of a guy impersonating Elton John (He was amazing and super funny!), we went to the deck of the ship, where they were having a chocolate party. I have never seen so much chocolate in one place, and the displays were beautiful! I was really excited to eat chocolate from the chocolate fountain, but the worker accidentally got chocolate over my formal dress...embarrassing! (PS, my mom had to work hard to get the stains out. But she's a pro at getting stains out and you can't even tell now that there was chocolate all over my dress. Thanks mom!) Such a fun, memorable night!
