To celebrate the end of my first full week at CPH, Matthew and I decided to visit the small city of Homer. This is a cute little town known for being at the southern most point on the Kenai Peninsula. This coastal city is nestled between the waters of the Cook Inlet and the mountains of the Alaskan mountain chain. It’s well-known here for its marina which offers water-taxis to the Kenai Fjord National Park and surrounding areas as well as charters to the local fishing attractions (which Matthew and I are planning on enjoying!). The views entering into Homer are indescribable and took my breath away. Below are some of the best pics of the trip. Enjoy!
(Check out these chunks of ice!) 
(The beach on the Cooke Inlet half way between Soldotna and Homer. Yes we're entering into the "mushy" season!)
(Of course a picture of me near the water!)
(I was loving the racky beaches but these beaches weren't nearly as rocky as the beaches the the Homer Spit)
(Yes, I have to stand on the big beach rocks!)
(Can you see me?)
(the first view of the Kenai Mountains and the Kachemak Bay near Homer...they were unbelievably breathtaking) 
(The sun came out right before we reached the mountain views)
(There were bald eagles flying all around the bay.)
(Matthew in some native spruce pines trees)
(Another Kenai Mountains view)
(Welcome to Homer!)
(We're now entering the Homer Spit...literally a spit of land projecting from the mainland and where we can go see the harbour, walk the beaches, and eat some really good food!)
(We splurged and ate a little up-scale at the Chart Room at the Lands End Resort. SOOO YUMMY!!!)
(On the balcony overlook at the restaurant...It wasSURROUNDED by seagulls)
(The splendid rocky beaches of the Spit (black rocks and natural coal with black sand underneath)
(Barnicles grew naturally on the larger rocks. So neat!)
(there was a wonderful monument the the men lost at sea. It was beautiful)
(Another view of the mtns)
(There are several water creeks like pools along the beach banks)
