So many things to accomplish today. We want to get our hair cut, go to the Farmer's Market, grocery shop, check out the Street Faire, walk on the beach, shop on the spit and go out to dinner.
We got it all done except the shopping on the spit -- we ran out of time. Walking on the beach was really cool. We had an extra-low tide at 10:05 am this morning. I walked over 400 yards all the way out to the tide line. Not much to see except some shells, kelp and seaweed. We found that we can also drive on this beach but we didn't find the entry point until almost high tide so we will have to put that off until tomorrow.
We can see one of the glaciers of the Harding Ice Field on the opposite shore from Homer. It is one that does not break off, or calve, into the tidewater but it is an alpine glacier that forms in a mountain valley and creates its own moraine lake. The one most visible is named Grewingk. The Harding Ice Field has over 30 glaciers covering over 300 square miles.
Sunset at 11:07 PM tonight and if we were able to stay up that late, we might even be able to see it set in the bay.
