Today our goal is to go the most Westerly point of Alaska that is accessible by road. Then onto Homer a cruise ship port.  Homer is a touristy town with a long slip covered in tourist attractions. It reminded me of Bangor Maine. We had a healthy lunch for a change; smoked salmon salad.  Man, it was good.  Imagine a Greek salad with smoked salmon.  Mmmm.

The catch of the day (me)


Leaving Homer the weather is overcast with rain off & on.  The temperature is still in the teens.  On our way out of town a Bald Eagle passed overhead.  It was huge, like 747 taking off.  We had seen its nest earlier.  I'm sure I could have sat inside it (except for the young eagles.)

We head back up the peninsula & stop @ Soldotna for the night.  It has been exactly 4 weeks & 13K kms since we started our trip.
