Homer, Alaska Reviews and Ratings

Homer is the best place in the whole world, for some folks. It is for me. It is artsy, and edgy, and completely different from everywhere else. If you like California, but less people, more artistic types, fishermen, mountains and being a little earthy, this is the place for you. Camp on the spit, or at the Homestead. Each fresh crab off of one of the fishing boats. Or spend the cash, take a Halibut fishing trip, either a 1/2 day or a full day, and have a great time. the best fish you will ever eat. Go to the shops, pick up some amazing art. Wash your stuff at the laundrymat net to all the kids working on the big cannery boats. They might have some clothes on, likely no shoes, and maybe they will have bathed by then, but they will have great stories and really crave conversation. Go to the public library and pay for a day pass and send some emails. Then pick up some Jelly from the Alaskan Berry Company... your Mom and aunts will love you for it! the Timbleberry and the Fireweed Jam and Jelly is the very best! Watch out for moose on the road, remember to pack rain gear... this is Alaska, no one slows down or doesn't go just cause it might rain for a little bit! Don't forget to go down by the marina to look out for seaotters, and eagles.
