Homer Spit (August 15, 2009)

The Homer Spit in Homer, Alaska was our first venture outside of Kenai. Immediately we were reminded of Duluth. Big hills, a lot of water (with the exception that it's salty...blah), and the spit, which holds similarities to Minnesota Point. This was also our first opportunity to see some true marine life. George, Kathy, and Jake were able to join us on our first venture. We started at the end of the spit where we watched people catch fish one after another right from the shore. The sea otters and sea lions were very curious, watching the people on the beach and doing some fishing themselves.


We have already taken advantage of the delicious seafood in the area: halibut, salmon, and crab! The Homer Spit provided us our first experience of this fabulous grub! Thank you to the fish for sacrificing their lives.
