Homer is an artistic bustling community, also known for its excellent halibut and salmon fishing. The first walk took us along the Beluga Slough (beach environment with mountains in the background) which connects Beluga Lake to Cook Inlet. The walk ended at the Island & Ocean Visitor Center. Our second walk is a panorama-packed geographic tightrope along what is known as Homer Spit, a long narrow bar jutting out into Kachemak Bay. There we witness the success of the day’s catch (halibut) as boats came back to the dock. Lunch was at a cute fish place (I enjoyed a HALIBUT sandwich). Then off to the Pratt Museum (for some interesting culture learning); a meander through town (back to the balcony view room). Then we all had dinner together at the Homestead Restaurant ... where two members of our group (who defected from the walking actives of the day) told us all about their halibut fishing boat tour they just finished in time for dinner. Sounded so good, wish I had gone (but the walks were really good too.) For dinner chose ... prime rime, shrimp linguine, and smoked/barbecued salmon. I had SALMON, and the Smokey Bay Breaze drink ... loved them both, desert was ice cream (with an eatable flower). A perfect ending to a perfect day.-- Angela
