Homer Spit

One of the places we went when I was in Alaska last summer was a place that people fall in love with - Homer Spit. Here is a view of the beach and the beautiful water and mountains surrounding it. 

Here it is as Gregg and I were flying towards it over Kachemak Bay.  Behind it on the hillside is Homer, Alaska.  The Spit juts out into the water with a 5 mile long highway that runs the entire length of it.  A colorful marina is in the foreground, a beautiful beach runs the length of it and cute little eccentric shops and eating places as well as places to lodge are almost at the end.  People are there with motor homes, tents, campers soaking up the enchanting spell of the place.  The names of the shops alone are worth the trip, The Spit Sisters, The Better Sweater, The Red Dog Saloon to name a few.  I fell in love with it, too.

Homer Spit

Gregg flew us to Homer Spit where Amanda met us with the car and her and I drove back home. This isn't very clear but I took it from the plane and the day was very hazy. The spit is a piece of land projecting into the ocean and it's quite interesting. Cute little shops and eating places everywhere. I love the catchy names - Spit Sisters, Better Sweaters, I should have written them down.
Below is an old wreck of a boat which I understand someone lives in yet. We drove a little closer to get a better picture and I was rewarded with 2 for 1. A bald eagle sat patiently on the mast waiting for his photo op.

Amanda and I along with Brutus the big dog, Django in the foreground and Guiness on my lap. What a crew. I laughed so much at those animals.

Beach along the ocean. A beautiful day. Diane
