It was a cold, rainy day, so Steve and I set out to do some shopping. We started in Homer at a remarkable store called Ulmer's, or the Homer Mall. This is all one ell-shaped building, but it houses an amazing variety of shops, all in one store...not separate buildings. It has a Tru-Value Hardware store at one end and a quilt shop at the other end. It has a pharmacy, a Hallmark store, a sporting goods store, housewares, clothing, shoes, toys, and other items. There is only one checkout station for all these various shops. I loved it because Steve was happy browsing the hardware section while I shopped in the quilt shop. What an interesting place.
We progressed from Ulmer's to the spit, where I shopped in my favorite store, The Better Sweater. Then we went to see the Seafarer's Memorial which is a monument to all those lost at sea.
We had a great happy hour with two couples from Maine (Linda and Ralph, Jolyne and Emory) that were camped next door to us. Even a light rain couldn't keep us from enjoying their company as they were leaving the next day.
That evening, we were treated to the sight of 4 whales spouting and rolling in the Inlet beside the campground.
