Homer day 2

It was rainy and cold much of the day. We got up and went to the Duncan House Diner for breakfast. We arrived before 8 am. and by 9 a.m., people were waiting in line to get a table. Good hearty breakfast.

Then we came back to the campground to shower. I watched Marine Life while Phil was puttering around in the bathroom. I saw several otters and seals as well as a dolphin and some kind of smaller whale. It was too far away to identify. Mostly, there is a lot of boat traffic from small boats taking people fishing.

It began to rain so we went to the local museum. Very nice combination of art, history, and wildlife exhibits. They also have a beautiful garden.

We had a late lunch at Three Olives. We both had a cup of tomato basil soup (yum), and we split a Nonna's Salad, which had apples, candidied pecans, and goat cheese on a bed of spinach and mixed lettuces. We also ordered a plate with three different spreads and ended up bringing most of that home for a light supper tonight.

We walked a short trail on the Beluga Slough next to the wildlife Visitor's Center. Saw some sand hill cranes with chick's and a variety of ducks and birds.

On the way back to the campground, after stopping at the pharmacy for prescription refills and the post office to mail cards, we saw the moose we saw yesterday happily browsing near the road. Hope she and her babies stay safe.

Late this afternoon, Phil and I walked to the Salty Dawg Saloon. It is a bar and kind of a tacky one, so we skipped having a drink as it was crowded. It is one of the oldest buildings on Homer Spit and was at one time a post office. It has apparently cleaned up a little. A neighbor in a nearby camper said she came here as a child, and there were pictures of naked women on the walls. None of that today.En savoir plus
