Alaska, Part 1.5

On our way to Homer. A little avocado makes for a nice traveling snack!!

A five hour drive south from Anchorage- we made it!

Corrie, Stan and the kids drove their camper down too!

Our first walk on the spit...

A visit into the well-known Salty Dawg Saloon...

Doc and Sue surprised us with a cruise over to Halibut Cove for our anniversary. It was extra special because they were doing an "Iron Chef Alaska" competition!

When we left Homer it was raining. During the 30 minute boat crossing, the sun opened up and we have blue, bright skies!!

Amazing appetizers: oyster shooters, fine cheese and local mead- so tasty!

We went and sat down by the dock before dinner. The babes loved the sun!

There were 8 teams of chefs. The surprise ingredient was salmon shark and they had one hour to prepare three courses. The food was unbelievably good!

All local ingredients- our salad was made with red curry and beets... yum...

Our main course was seared shark atop a croquette with colorful sauteed veggies.

The sun stayed out all evening!

Truly a magical place...

After dinner, we took the boat back across the inlet. The sunset was incredible...

Anyone familiar with the tv show, Deadliest Catch? This is the infamous "Time Bandit".

The next morning we awoke to this view, above the clouds. The glaciers were breathtaking...
