Kenai is out; Homer a possiblity












We stayed in Kenai for a couple of days, looking around to see if this is the place we want to settle. Not our cup of tea!!! Too boring. Looks like a place where the rich come to settle, and while it had a variety of shopping, not one area even inspired us to take pics. So we can down to Homer.

Now Homer is interesting! Homer is where the road ends and the sea begins..there is sea and mountains in the same place. The spit is a great place to meet people from all over the world. The Salty Dog is the most interesting place of all. It has a lighthouse on top, and on the walls and ceilings there is one dollar bills with the names of all the people who have visited. There is even hats, and underwear on the wall, and an IOU for $1.00 from one visitor. Ron & Jenny Zeller and Tom & Alesia Hopfauf were there with us, and we had such a good time. We hope they come and visit us when we find the place we want for our bed and breakfast.

We are staying at the Homer Spit Campground, and plan on never staying here again!! We had to move three times just to get the electric to work, and Lisa was just fit to be tied by the time we finally found a spot that worked. You have to pay extra for the showers, and the internet. Down the road is a cheaper place , but we didnt' know that when we got here. We do now, and plan on staying there when we next come to town. It is also a short distance from all the shops and interesting little shops. We haven't even begun to take pics of all those places.

We have been spending the last 4 days transferring our items to a new shop, buyitsellit.com
It is taking days and days, but the wireless connection in Anchorage is hard to get from our location. Guess we are going to have to spring for a wereless internet card from Verizon to keep up with everything.

Everyone can still buy what they need from the ebay store

Homer looks like the place to be! A bed & breakfast sounds like it would be awesome there as you have the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other, appealing to both sides, the ying and yang of our nature.
Love you guys! Take care and remember you are always in my heart.

Looking forward to your next post!! David sends his love and says he hopes you are having fun!! He unfortunately is laid up...badly sprained his ankle in our softball game last friday (in a walking cast). But he is a trooper and will be ok! Keep in touch!! Hugs!
