Alright!! we are in Homer. It's a pretty cool little town on the coast of Alaska. Too bad Mr. Simpson couldn't make it. (If you saw the simpson's movie you would know they go to Alaska, and they just had to have visited Homer) But first, our adventure in Seward.
When we got to Seward, it was cloudy a little windy.
I had to do my thing and I took awhile. Now that would have been okay if we didn't have to be on the other end of town to get on a whale watching tour in five minutes. The lack of fresh veggies and fruit, is leaving the colon uncooperative. Thank God the town of Seward is about as big as my neighborhood! So we made it. Now the tour was amazing. after about two minutes on the water we saw two young Humpback Whales. We had some pics and one of them was of the fluke but my crazy Aunt Debbie had the wrong settings on the camera, so they didn't work out. But we got to see two different pods of Orca Whales (killer whales) and some of them even came right up to the boat.
One good thing was the fact that these Orcas were not the ones that eat other mammals, but the ones that eat fish. So if you fell in you wouldn't die from being eaten, but of hypothermia. Now that's something to look forward to. To reassure everyone, no one fell into the water. Although I almost put something else into the water.... Let's just say, the Bonine didn't work. But no worries, everything was okay and we even saw a couple eagles hanging out, a few mountain goats who appeared to be waiting for a ride, seals and a Sea Otter on the way back.
On the way to Homer we saw this guy... or maybe girl?
In Homer, we had somewhat of a lazy day. We drove down from Seward, ate lunch in Homer, (I had some fresh Halibit) saw lots of Eagles and switched hotels all in one day. Man, were we busy!!
While we were on the beach, (yes there are beaches in Alaska, With SAND!!) we saw some kelp growing on a rock.
And this is what I thought of it

Hey Will and Debbie,
You look like you have been having a great time. Hit the City Market when you get back to Anchorage. Great Kaladi Coffee. Moose's Tooth is another fun spot for pizza.
Hope you waved to our property when you were on the spit in Homer.
Hugs, Carol, Mack and Buzz
