We leave on Wednesday from Anchorage. We'll drive to Anchorage on Tuesday to visit with our old neighbors/friends M and J and their beautiful little girl A, then spend the night with family friends before braving the plane trip first thing Wednesday morning. I will be charging the DVD players and stocking up on snacks from the Natural Pantry...
I have really enjoyed this visit to Homer. I'm trying to figure out a way that we can spend every summer (or at least a portion thereof) here. Yurt? Cabin? Mooching off the parents? Real estate has reached a ridiculous high here - some lots in town are selling for as much as $100K an acre! Unsightly hovels with no view run over $200K. Pity we didn't think to invest a few years back...but who knew I'd find the Homer-love again? (Not like we could have anyway, but still.) I am positive, however, that I do not want to spend winters here ever again. I think we finally got it right, moving to a non-wintery place!!
This town just has some amazing things...museum, visitor's center, ocean views, boating, camping (in rentable Yurts too!), beachcombing, restaurants, great brew...and so many great people as well.
Girls are playing right now with the son of my senior prom date. We'll see our best man and his girlfriend and her daughter tonight...funny how everybody else grows older and more responsible...
That's it for now. I will post pictures upon our return to AZ...
