Scenes from Kenai Peninsula

Bonnie, Adam and Sophie at one of the world's most beautiful highway rest stops. Who's going to win?

Overlooking Homer and the Homer Spit.

At the boat harbor on Homer Spit.

The world-famous Driftwood Inn. Lennie got in big trouble for reserving this place. It ranked as the #2 most popular hotel in Homer by Trip Advisor. There must be a lot of people even cheaper than us who stay in Homer. It was like staying in an old ship.

Aren't they adorable?

Allison and Lennie with their big catch!!

This picture was taken near the beach behind the Driftwood Inn. Bonnie, Allison and I took an invigorating morning walk there.

The seaweed comes big in Alaska.

The Russian Orthodox Church in a town where Bonnie and I ate at a funky little Russian restaurant.

Digging for razor clams at Clam Gulch.

Mount Redoubt, the volcano that erupted just months ago, as seen from the backyard of the Clam Gulch Lodge.

We hijacked a row boat on the Lower Russian Lake.

Russian River Falls.

Watching a bear fish below the Russian River Falls.


Here are pictures from our last three days in Alaska: all on the Kenai Peninsula. Bonnie and I had some time to ourselves for about 3 1/2 days, and were then joined by everyone else for the last two. The Kenai Peninsula has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, yet it is only 2-4 hours away from Anchorage.
