Kenai Penninsula

From Anchorage we headed south to the Kenai Peninsula, where we stayed at a B&B in Kasilof and checked out the funky town of Homer.

Our B&B in Kasilof was owned by one impressive Alaskan woman named Rebecca. She had a huge garden, flew planes, built log cabins, raised five kids and was a super hostess to boot.

Homer sits at the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula and has a fantastic beach with impressive mountain views. Homer also has an impressive number of coffee shops for a town of 5,000ish. I counted at least 12...

We ate lunch at the Two Sisters Bakery. The clincher for us was the warm sunny deck and the many toys for Cassia to play with. Not so popular was the dog that licked James' lemon square.

 Alaska seems to be full of very funky cabins and homes, most not on wheels.
