Leaving Homer

We are leaving Homer today and going fishing in the Kenai River.  Homer has been amazing and we have enjoyed every moment.  The weather changes in a second and the ocean can be glass one moment and a very angry sea the next.  The glaciers are alive with changing colors and shadows that can only be captured in your heart.  Before we left home, I told Karen that I couldn't understand why people would visit Alaska year after year, I get it now.

A pair of eagles live nearby and come over to visit a few times every day, so we have watched them look for food and when they find it they share with each other, but not with the seagulls.

We ran into a crazy bar last night, the Salty Dawg.  This fun place actually gives you a marker and a cup of thumbtacks so that you can add to the THOUSANDS of dollar bills hung all around the bar with messages on them.  I didn't have my camera last night but it was great.
