Drove past the Summit Restaurant and headed east on the Sterling Highway) to Kenai
Stopped at a turnout at Cooper Landing and took pictures of Kenai Lake
Arrived in the town of Kenai – stopped at the Visitor’s Center and got directions to a park along the bluffs overlooking the beach – ate lunch at the park and walked a trail to the bluffs – Big Bird!
Drove to the old town and saw the Orthodox Church and old Fort Kenai building
Called Rev. Corby Cross and made arrangements to meet for dinner at the church – went to Star of the North Church – LCMS – then on to dinner at Louie’s – we shared Carol’s favorite, prime rib and still couldn’t finish the meal.
