Homer

July 3. Very windy during the night. Sounded like the waves were coming into the trailer! Over 20 eagles on the beach this morning. On to Homer and what an awesome sight as the mountains came into view. In Cast-A-Way park(on the spit )as before-same great owners and service. To visitor center for info. Otters swimming in bay on the spit and one outside our back window. Rainy and cool. July 4. What a fun day! Independence Day. A little cloudy and some sum. After touring the spit a little, we headed for the Elks for a 12:00 BBQ. Sat with 2 couples- 1 from California and the other from Oregon. Quite a lot of food including brisket, pork, chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers and numerous sides and desserts and drinks for $15.00 a plate. After that to the farmers market which is always fun. July 5. Went to Beluga Point. Saw an eagle in flight then returning to its nest. Got our pictures in front of welcome to homer sign. Went to the shopping mall, then back to camp to go to lunch with Marv and Vicki. Good food- expensive as most of it is. July 6. Went to the large visitor center and watched 2 films and walked through their great exhibits. July 7. To the farmers market. Bought a few items and listened to a couple playing music. Kettle corn and blueberry lemonade. To the famous Salty Dogs for a tshirt and then pictures of eagles on the locals roofs. Back at camp Duke fixed a delicious salmon chowder. Internet here, so caught up a bit. July 8. Went to a beautiful mass at St. John The Baptist Catholic church. Another eagle to see. To Ben Walters Memorial park. Walked the boardwalk, took photos of ducks, sea planes and an unusual lily pad. Cleaned trailer, duke made a great chicken soup, got another eagle picture, charged all electric up and got ready to leave for Seward tomorrow.
