We left the RV a little after 11:00 to go to the Homer Visitor Center and saw this bald eagle sitting atop one of the tsunami warning sirens. Yesterday we had seen an eagle sitting on the same siren, but didn't get a photo of him.

We drove past the Mariner Park campground (a City of Homer campground) and noticed that there were a lot of vacant campsites, so we stopped to check it out. We turned around and went back to the RV so we could move to Mariner Park. By 12:15 we were at Mariner Park and had the RV set up. At Fishing Hole campground we were facing north towards the end of Kachemak Bay and at Mariner Park we are facing south where Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet meet. Since both the Fishing Hole and Mariner Park are City of Homer campgrounds, we didn't have to pay an extra fee for camping.

After lunch we went to the Homer Visitor Center to check on a couple of the scenic drives here. At the Visitor Center we picked up some brochures and bought some postcards.

We also got a map of Homer and were shown the route up to the bluff overlooking Homer where we could take some great photos of the town and Homer Spit.

That little spit of land jutting out in the bay is Homer Spit and that is where we're camped.
While we were up on the bluff taking photos we met a couple from Florida and a couple from New Mexico who had stopped to take pictures.
After taking photos from the bluff, we drove out to the east end of Skyline Drive before returning to the campground.
This afternoon more and more people came into the campground including this family who are tent camping next to us.
Our neighbor on the other side of us is Jim and Kenobi, his Karelian Bear Dog. Jim is a K-2nd grade teacher in Nanwalek. The only way to get to Nanwalek is either by boat or seaplane which Jim takes to get to Homer. He leaves his truck here so he has transportation when he comes to Homer.

This afternoon there were some kitesurfers out in Kachemak Bay and we sat out on the beach and watched them. The temp was about 58° with a strong wind coming off the bay.

Late this afternoon a woman from the City of Homer came around checking the campground to be sure everyone had paid. Mike was outside and she commented on the fact that we had moved. She had a paper indicating where everyone was camped and knew that we had moved. We figure they must have the license tag number down (the tag number was needed for registration) on the paper she had for registered campers. There wasn't any problem about us moving, she just updated their information.
Yesterday when I got groceries at Safeway there was a coupon on the back of my receipt for the Don Jose Mexican Restaurant here in Homer. The coupon was for a lunch or dinner entree for half price with the purchase of one at full price. So at 6:30 we drove over to Don Jose's and ordered 2 Grilled Burritos with Carne Asada beef. Since we wanted to have Fried Ice Cream for dessert, we just ate half of our burrito and brought the rest home to eat tomorrow.
A little after 10:30 Mike went outside to take some photos of the sunset.
