Our last day in Homer

We decided that today would be our lay-over day.  We would sleep a little late and start packing for the plane.  After doing some packing, we left the room around 11:00 am…. We first did a little shopping in a nice little shop that carries Alaskan products.  I got a few things in there.  Then we went to the wild life center -- very nice look at the ecology of the bay and other islands.  It shows what they do to keep the balance of the eco system out here.
We then took a walk out to the beach and looked around….
Next, to the Bear Creek Winery… for wine tasting… and of course buying a couple of bottles of wine… nice wine.. But sadly can't buy it in Arkansas.
Late lunch/early dinner was at the Sourdough Express… probably the best food in Homer that we had…. Interesting story also… the guy that owns it traveled on the Alaskan highway selling bread along the way… he arrived in Homer with 43 dollars…. And now have a very nice place to eat.
We ended the day at the hotel, walking down on the beach a couple of times,… one time we found some shells to bring home. 
All in all and very nice day…  The sun is shinning and it is warm (for Alaska) and very nice…..
Next we go to Kenai to visit some friends for the night.
