We ate the last of the fresh blueberries this morning. We still have some in the freezer. On the way out of the state park campground we saw seven bald eagles. One of them had his head turned around 180 degrees looking behind him! The momma grizzly bear with the three cubs was in the river again. We took more pictures along with about 20 other people. The Silver Sea cruise ship named Silver Shadow was in port today. There were a lot of tour vans driving around town but it wasn't very crowded in town. Jim needed to pay a few bills that didn't get paid yesterday so we went back to the library. Afterward we drove out to Chilkat State Park and had a picnic lunch. From there you can see the Davidson and Rainbow glaciers. We also saw harbor seals.
We went back to Haines Brewing and had a couple of beers and talked to the brewer. He has a barley wine aging that he made in May and will start serving in September. He gave us some to sample. Then we went to the Fog Cutter bar in town with free wi-fi to update the blog for today (the library was charging $3.00/hr). I needed to go to the post office and after we left we saw a little trailer that was advertising fish and chips -- the name was Big Al's Salmon Shack. They also own the cannery in town so the fish was very fresh. The lady who did the cooking told us her little brother and her dad catch the fish. They had fish and chips for $8.00 (salmon) to $12.00 (halibut). One place in town was charging $24.00 for fish and chips! We had the combo - salmon and halibut. It was the best we have eaten so far, even better the the halibut capital - Homer. The SUN actually came out this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow will be sunny too! We had a fire at camp again
