The Homer Spit

What a day.  The temp was 66 with a cool breeze and the sun shining and we were on a small 4.5 mile spit in an Alaskan fishing town for the day.  What more could you ask for!  Caught the trolley at the RV park, had lunch at Captain Patties that had  a view of the bay and then walked the boardwalks.  Did you know that the Time Bandit from the TV show, Deadliest Catch, is docked in Homer, Alaska?  How cool!  I have never seen such exquisite handmade jewelry, totem poles, and fossilised bone and ivory.  The designs are just beautifully created.  Saw the Salty Dog Saloon bedecked with all the $1 bills stapled everywhere.  Did you know that Arlo Guthrie (Alice's Restaurant creater) visited the Salty Dog?  Just a little tidbit that I KNOW ya'll could identify with - HA! HA! HA!  Tomorrow we will be leaving Homer and heading to Portage Glacier, through Anchorage again, and on to Haines and Skagway Alaska.  Let me know who wants Salmon shipped to them, as we will be getting the salmon in Haines.  Just giving ya'll time to think about it.
