Tammy and Blayde have a beautiful home right on the river!
After saying goodbye, we were off to Homer, Alaska!
Everywhere we went in Alaska, we found unique buildings. This boat was part of the building!
On our drive to Homer, we saw lots of volcanic mountains across the peninsula! Some of them are still active!
The intrepid travelers!
The view as we approach Homer
This is a view of the famous Homer Spit, the small strip of land that juts out. In the 1964 earthquake that devastated parts of Alaska, the spit dropped 4-5 feet but it still survives. People love to camp and fish there.
After setting up camp, we had lunch at a restaurant out on the spit
Yummy curried fish pot!
Most of these boats out on the spit appear to be derelicts but at least one of them is "lived in"!
Float planes are a regular part of life in Alaska and we saw many places where the planes are just moored up to personal docks, just like boats in some other places!
On a drive through the town of Homer, we got this view of a glacier across the water!
Here's another view of "The Homer Spit" as seen from town.
I loved this little tea shop in Homer, with all the cups and exciting trim with lots of flowers!
Our camp on the beach!
We enjoyed the sunset by the fire. Bob made us his famous fish chowder, which was perfect for the occasion!
