After a great night's sleep at the fabulous O'Hearn-Hilton, we were ready to play New Hampshire tourist. So after a delicious homemade breakfast cooked by Chef Paulette, we began to think about plans for the day.We did have to run into town for a few errands, and to ship back our latest batch of t-shirts to make sure we had room for the ones we bought today.

Hello all, due to computer issues and no internet yesterday, I am writing this final blog entry today. Our final day in Homer Spit began again with wonderful weather. We had a casual breakfast, then headed back to Anchorage. I have to say that this last stop was one of my favorites, although it would be very difficult to find one that I did not enjoy.

Heard the walk is worth it.Oops, passed Diana's Bath and decide to do the walk and check it out. Side tracked again. It was lovely an we just kept walking, you could follow it way past the 'bath'. Still not a lot of water, but just beautiful. Eventually get back on track.Taken to sitting in the boot of the car to devour our snacks. Not sure why when we stop in such picturesque places. Anyway, after some confusion about the hike, we're off.Long walk and its all uphill. Does it ever end? And its beautiful!!Heading back to town and everyone's starving. Called into the tiniest deli and yep, more pizza for lunch. Found some ... read more
