Lift Us Up Where We Belong

The weather is a little better today and the morning is taken up with laundry and hanging out. This afternoon we are going on a city tour. Shelley, our guide, picks up the group in a small bus and shows us the sights in town and on the spit. Then we take a harbor walk with a guy who tells us more than I ever wanted to know about fleet fishing boats and how they catch halibut. I can tell you the crews on these boats work hard and it is usually cold and long hours to bring in the food we eat.

Next stop is a mom and pop winery who use local fruits and berries in their brew. Lots of fun sampling the wines and eating smoked salmon canapes. Later Jeff and I had a romantic dinner at Captain Patties. We liked this place so much last year that we returned and like it even better.

After dinner we drove around looking for eagles and saw lots of them. Near the fishing hole there is a dumpster for fish scraps and we saw a large eagle dumpster diving along with the gulls. Also saw one on a telephone pole. After stopping for ice cream cones we made our way back and to bed.
