Day 348. July 20, 2014. Exploring more of Homer

LOCATION:  Homer, Alaska on southwest tip of state

WEATHER:  Very nice.  Highs in 60s

We took a hike on one of the bluffs overlooking the bay.  Our trail led us through very tall fireweed, wild flowers that are everywhere.

Then, we went on a short walking tour of old Homer.  The flowers there are beautiful, too.

The flowers must really like summer's 20-hour days.

This flowering kale is on steroids!

We rode our bikes about 3 miles to Homer Spit, a long, narrow piece of land that juts into the bay.  Surprisingly, it reminds me of Key West.  Lots of charter boat tour offices, seafood shops, seafood restaurants, T-shirt shops and bars.  We went to a famous (infamous) one called Salty Dawg Saloon.  It is like the Salty Dog one in Key  West. 

We drank a salty dog on their patio.  Nice and sunny.

DINNER:  I needed to use up a leftover grilled chicken thigh, and ribs, so I made a stir-fry with the meat and lots of veggies.  Instead of rice, I stirred the mix into the leftover rice  vermicelli.  George had bought two huge containers of blueberries (as they were a "good deal"), so we had blueberries and Greek yogurt for dessert.
