Today we took a boat tour of the sound outside Homer. It was a wildlife viewing tour and also a visit to an island town called Seldovia.
Seldovia was an interesting stop. It is located on an island about 10 miles from Homer and was one of the original Russian settlements in Alaska. It has a cute Russian Orthodox Church. Originally it was a fur and Herring fishing center. Now it seems to thrive on tourism.
After returning we finally got a little break in the weather, and we were able to spend a nice quiet evening enjoying the view, talking to our neighbors and watching the boats go by on their way to the harbor. For the first time on the trip we did not move Scout which was nice.
