Coastline of the western side of Kenai Peninsula. Accross the bay (to the left) is the first of several volcanos that lie on the other side:
Di and the boys on the beach:
We spent Friday and Saturday in Homer which is on the west side of the Kenai Peninsula. We has a nice drive over, spent some time by the ocean before we arrived. Neither of us thought much of the town of Homer. It's all fishing and tourist which seem to go hand in hand here. It is also expensive...more so then any other town I've been to.
Saturday we time the tide and set out for a well known tidal pool area. We found tons of sea anenomes and a few starfish. Ben slipped off a rock and was wet to his knees and complained about the cold and sand all the way back to the car. We did get sun in the afternoon which was the first opprotunitiy we had to view the mountians across the bay. It is a beaufitul view.

Eagles on the beach:
Eagle prints on the beach:
The lupines are almost in full bloom. The flowers are everywhere, growing in masses along the road sides. It's been cool the whole time we've been here. I've heard in said by the residents in every town we've been to that spring is about 3 weeks late. Just our luck! We have lucked out with the rain holding...we've had overcast days but only one full morning of rain (this morning).We have a midnight flight out of Anchorage this evening and will be back home in Denver at 7am Monday morning.
