Well, we have made our way back to Anchorage and are waiting to board the plane to Chicago. Our day started with moose!
Then we went down to the Homer spit to get one final fish and chips for the family.
On the way out, we headed to the Kenai Wildlife Refuge / Russian River valley and took a final walk about and watched a fisher man pull in two salmon.

It’s always sad to end a trip, but it’s been lovely. If I had to stay for a few more weeks, I wouldn’t complain, but I miss my pets and my bed. I am glad to have this time to spend with my family.
Tonight we pick up our exchange student (Helena). Busy week!
