Go, Spit!

Trav and I made it to Homer yesterday. We had lunch at the Sunrise Cafe, not far from Summit Lake, but before Soldotna. It hasn't been raining all that much, and there also hasn't been a huge amount of traffic, so it was a pretty nice drive.

It wasn't raining by the time we got into Homer, so we drove all the way down to the spit so that Travis could take some pictures without getting wet. It sprinkled and rained most of the rest of last night, and well into this morning. It is supposed to keep raining until after we leave. Oh well.

We had dinner at Captain Pattie's last night.

This is right on the spit. The windows overlooked the inlet, and you could smell the sea air coming up. We didn't have reservations, although they weren't absolutely needed, we did end up at a smaller table off on the side of the room. The place was full of plenty of fisherpeople and tourists. Food was awesome. Their service was good, but I think they were having problems in the kitchen. Our food took a long time, but the waitress gave us some free smoked salmon dip to soothe us. We weren't in any hurry anyway, so I don't think either of us would have complained anyway. It was a nice gesture, and she got a nice tip out of the deal.
Excellent food. I had fresh Alaskan prawns, and Travis had a seafood alfredo medley with salmon, scallops and halibut. We both left the restaurant very very stuffed!

After that we just hung around the cabin and watched some old movies on tv, had a few drinks (really bad bad bad alcohol out of a can, and some beer).

Today we have a few more adventures in Homer before we depart tomorrow.
