Home run in Homer

It was hard leaving Seward, [in fact we are talking about returning this week]. The trip on the way out was suppose to be a short one but June lost the top of a crown so we called Homer and she got a appt there to have it fixed...But we did take a gravel road off the main hwy, and saw some great country in between the smoke that was getting bad from a forest fire. We did see it but the smoke kept us from getting good pics, maybe we will get some on the way back...But going down into Homer we got out of the smoke as the hwy went along the coast of the Cook Inlet...Great scenery again. Our camp spot was top notch....#5...was the spot...even got my bald head burned...We were way above the water on the edge of a cliff. Then the next day we drove into Homer and it is quite a sight to see it for the first time as you drive down into it. The 4 mile spit which goes out into the inlet is the focal point for the town. It was washed over by the tsunami in 1964. I saw a picture of it happening in a museum.. We would have been goners...We stayed on the spit 2 nights in two different places....Lots of stuff happening on the spit, lots of stores, restaurants, tours, etc., maybe a bar or two. We stuffed ourselves with halibut, fixed many different ways....out of this world...I dont know whats wrong with me, but wine and hummers have not been as important, for some reason Ive got my beer goggles on...I think its the great beer they brew around here....There is one they allow you to have only 2 pints..Dang. This morning we woke up after only 12 hours of sleep and it was foggy. So we went to the hills above Homer which was in the sun and looked the place over...It would be real easy to live there...Also Talkeetna, but so far I like Seward as my favorite...Maybe a home in all 3. It was great to take the boat down lower to the town of Seldovia, a old Russian town, and the only way to it is by boat or plane... its ok to drive 4 wheelers on the road...Talk about another cool place, I could live there too.. So peaceful and kicked back and very beautiful....Now we are in the town of Kenai and will investigate in tomorrow....film at whenever we get up...
