Before I was so distracted in Anchorage by my bad day, I had wanted to blog about our volcano experience in Homer.
We finished dinner at Lands End, which is literally the end of the road in Homer - out on the spit, with no where to go but Kachemak Bay. I ordered my third halibut meal of the trip. Mmm.
Because the clouds were fairly clear towards the volcanos, we decided to drive up the mountain a bit to the scenic overlook.
The volcanos are known as the Ring of Fire, and there are 5 fairly active volcanoes around Homer (three are particularly active, having fairly recent and frequent eruptions). As we got closer to the lookout, Mom said that it looked like we could actually see Augustine, which we hadn't been able to see due to weather the whole time we were in Homer. Not only could we see Augustine, but it may have been smoking! The outlook provided us with extreme telescopes, where we could confirm that Augustine was indeed smoking away.
Beth was very happy with our volcano sighting, and also happy it wasn't really erupting.
