After a great (and filling) morning, we headed over to The Spit. We spent the rest of the day exploring.
We saw at least 4 American Bald Eagles. (One was SO close; but, by the time I got near, it flew away. I still included my picture-- it's the one of a random patch of sky.) Later, on our way back off The Spit, we pulled over at an American Bald Eagle's nest. John got several photos of this.
Walking on the beach, we saw a seal (who followed us and kept popping up) and an otter.
We browsed through several sets of boardwalks and discovered High Tide Arts. This is Leslie and Jens Klaar's gallery. Leslie does some really beautiful collages which interpret Alaskan scenery in unique ways. We bought a few pieces--similar to what's seen here.
We saw the bounty of many fishing charters. They hauled in lots of rockfish, some halibut, ling cod, and other big fish ;)
We also scoped out the Salty Dawg Saloon decorated primarily with dollar bills.
We stopped at Fat Olives for dinner. We decided to call it a night pretty early. We'd walked several miles during the day and needed some rest after Friday's late evening. Miraculously, our hotel improved while we were gone... I think it might have been since we couldn't hear the neighbors talking, we could enjoy the view in the night light, and we beat the band to bed.
