Homer, Alaska - City Sites

It was cold and rainy most of the day today. After a little breakfast at a fabulous bakery, we went to a wild life museum. Then we met another SOWERS couple (Lynda and Dave) that had come down for the day. We had coffee together and then walked the streets of the Homer Spit area doing a little window shopping and souvenir collecting. I bought a nice warm sweater. Grant bought a pocket knife.


On our way back we drove to quite a number of shoreline views of Cooks Inlet. It was hard to get good pictures because of the rain. We stopped at a Russian Orthodox Church in Ninilchik, Alaska. In the church yard there was a beautiful display of fireweed, which is a very common pink/purple flower here in Alaska. The locals say that when the fireweed is gone for the year, it's time for winter.


I have a lot of fishy smelling clothes to wash!!!
