July 21

We left Homer Spit in the rain this morning. This area has the second highest tidal range in the United States which can be up to 28'. The height of the poles gives you an idea of just what 28' is. This picture is at low tide.
Alaskans really like their espresso and there are many tiny little buildings which offer all the good coffee drinks, smoothies, etc. Here are a few we saw today...
The Lazy Latte
Blue Rose Espresso
Espresso to Go
And to go along with all that coffee, another big thing up here is cinnamon rolls which are the specialty at cafes, bakeries, etc. Everyone advertises that their cinnamon rolls are "THEE BEST"!!!
Several restaurants and shops have included "Moose" in their name and a few we saw are:
The Goofy Moose
Once in a Blue Moose
Mooselaneous
We arrived in Cooper Landing late this morning and just back from a delicious dinner (bison chili for Mark and salmon chowder for me) + salmon sliders at the Kenai Princess Lodge near our RV Park. We have a beautiful view of Mount Cecil overlooking the Kenai River.

Pat: Had lots of cinnamon rolls while in Alaska and each and every one claimed the biggest and best!!!!!!! Did not find that they were all that good though unfortunately. Judy
