HI everyone. I have posted a LOT of new photos so be sure to scroll down to Older Posts. I have had a great two days off and have mainly tried to be outside as much as possible. It has been sunny and I have walked a ton, around the spit and downtown Homer, and we biked into Cafe Cups last night, 12 miles round trip. I realized no amount of the Elliptical in the ship's 'gym' can simulate a real workout.  It was great to find a bookstore, healthfood store, and cute cafes for reading. It has been a very nice break and we are back to work tomorrow.  Survey until the 9th and then get underway for Seattle.  Arrive around the 16th and my honey comes in the 17th!  I am SO excited!!!  Lots of love! -Lauren
