Sunshine!!  Fortuna, California is gloriously sunny!  We are enjoying our stay at Riverwalk RV Park. 

Yesterday we drove the 20 miles to Eureka to see what we could see.  We headed for the Romano Gabriel Wooden Sculpture Garden, which was not at all what we expected.  Evidently, when he lived here he sculpted hundreds of art pieces from wooden vegetable crates and displayed them in the front yard of his home.  It was meant for passersby to enjoy.  When he passed away the city displayed them in a building where they can still be seen.

The boardwalk in Eureka is on Humboldt Bay.  There are marinas, art pieces and beautiful views.  We had lunch outside.  Next to us was a kinetic sculpture of waves and seagulls.  It circled on a motor and there was a big sign about not climbing on it.  Nevertheless, some parents there let their kids stop it with their hands.  Sigh!

Another art piece was nautical.  We were impressed that the city had flags along the boardwalk with pictures of local military personnel.  It was a nice tribute.

Across the bay is a large statue of a fisherman.  It is next to a restaurant and a lighthouse.

The harbor is a relaxing, pretty place.  While we were there, our friend Bob flew his drone over the boats in the marina.  The drone can go up to four miles away and projects a video of what is below to a hand held screen.  These videos can be saved to the cloud.  The remote control has a button that, when pushed, signals the drone to return.  It was fun to see.

After the harbor we drove to an amazing Victorian home, the Carson Mansion.  It is used today as a private club.

Here is a picture of a flag we saw in the window of a Eureka store. Enough said.
