Day 9: Anchor Point & Homer Spit


Homer is a very sleepy beautiful town which focuses on drinking and fishing!!!Since we were not interested in the first and not experienced in the second we were left with just the Spit to visit. The spit is the second largest in the world and boasts many gift shops( completely avoidable). Luckily on our trip to view the bears we met these two wildlife photographers who told us about Anchor Point. Normally, most people drive by without realizing that this is the haven for the famed Bald eagles. However if you can visit this at low tide, this provides you with a beautiful view of as many Bald eagles as you would want to see plus the four volcanoes of Homer. Fish is ample so the eagles do not feel the need to fight for their food as the pictures will show you. Our trip is almost coming to an end. Tonight we had a surprise birthday party for Anju at midnight. This is in keeping with our tradition of giving her a 2 city birthday, starts in Homer and ends in Anchorage.
