ALASKA ADVENTURES HOMER

4&5 August 2014

The drive from Seward to Homer is on a dark, stormy and sometimes foggy day. The good news is it is a dark, stormy and sometimes foggy day so there wasn’t much outdoor stuff we can do anyway. The bad news is it is a dark, stormy and sometimes foggy day for driving the two lane roads. But it is all perfect!

The Lands End Resort is just that - at the end of the Homer Spit as far out as one can get and is right on the

water. The first thing that catches my eye as I check in is MASSAGE!!! Yes! Boy do I need one, so I leave a message at the spa for an appointment for the next day.

We have no planned activities in Homer, just R&R and exploration of the area. We choose massages and R&R!! We do walk around the cute little village at the end of the spit to check out the stores. Captain Patties is recommended as a great place to have dinner and it doesn’t disappoint. Homer has the eastern most road in Alaska called East End Road. It is under construction so we opt to skip driving out to the end.

After the rainy journey, we are blessed with great weather for the days we are in Homer. Follows are some pictures of the beach in front of my deck off of my room and some pictures of the outside and inside of the resort.

Inside my room. Looks and feels like a ship cabin. Cute!

Jelly freshly washed up on the shore.

Dark and stormy sky does not deter fishing from the shore. Homer is known for fishing.

Beach, sky, water and mountains all forming a painted picture as only nature can paint.

This plaque is on a stone carved bench on the beach looking out at the water. Jean would sit and feed the eagles from this location sometimes surrounded by 50 or more bald eagles. The city has decided to stop the activity so the memory of Jean can stay alive. I will always "shake my feathers" as she has advised.
