7/11 Last day in Homer

While watching the news,  this a.m., we heard there was a tour plane that crashed at Beluga Lake, which is in Homer, not too far from where we are at. It happened at 10:30pm and 1 person had died.  Bummer!

After breakfast we went into town to do laundry, 3 loads with bedding and clothes. $4.50 a load, ouch! After the laundry was done we stopped on our way back to the RV and picked up our halibut. We came home and Dave did manage to get it all in the freezer, but we won’t be able to get much more in there.

We decided to get some fresh Oysters to BBQ tonight so we drove on to the spit to where someone told us they had good ones. We then drove into Homer to go see the Pratt Museum, very nicely put together. On the way there we drove by the Beluga Lake and you can see the plane still upside down in the Lake. FAA has to come out and investigate before they can remove the plane.

We then went to Don Jose’s for margaritas and nachos. A few people had told us it was a good place to eat at, but we didn’t want lunch just a snack and it really hit the spot.

When we got back Dave started cleaning the RV. He vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom and was on his hands and knees mopping the floors. He even dusted! Me, I sat getting caught up on my blogs, he is a much better cleaner then me.

We drove into town, to the Farmer’s Market, but since it was raining hardly anyone showed up. We wanted to get some fresh Salmon and fresh grown lettuce. Both those guys didn’t show up so back to the RV.

Dave had a Habitat BOD meeting to attend, so that happened at 4:30pm. I played on the computer, watched the otters that are back again and read my book. Headed out for Kenai Prince lodges RV park tomorrow for a night. They have full hook up plus a hot tub we can use. My left arm hurts so much after fishing yesterday, holding the pole and pulling on it all the time while reeling. Right arm isn’t sore at all.

Matt and Connie left this a.m. and so did those other 3 RV’s that had pulled in next to us. Told  everyone we would see them up the road, and to have happy travels.
