Homer flightseeing and Seward

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday the flightseeing tour took us up close and personal to Mt. Iliamna..it was so cool seeing all the volcanoes I've heard about (Redoubt, Augustine, etc). It was so clear you could see Kodiak Island, 100 miles away!! Wow. Iliamna is a dormant volcano, but you could still see steam coming out of different places..cool! It was definitely heavily glaciated..I wanted to go all the way around the volcano and see the glaciers on that side, but we didn't. After getting an eyeful of Iliamna lol we descended to a river delta and saw lots of bears! They were probably eating lots of fish lol. What a beautiful day for flightseeing! After that we looked in shops and had dinner and looked in even more shops lol. It's always nice to relax after a busy day :P

Today we drove to Seward..it was still a nice day, but I could tell the weather was changing cause clouds were coming in. I'm so glad we had a few days of nice weather though. After shopping (my debit card feels tired. :P lol) and dinner we had fun watching the sea otters in the harbor! They're so cute lol. There were also some really red jellyfish..so cool. I want to post my pics, but the Internet is kinda slow where we're staying. Tomorrow we drive to Valdez..that's gonna be a loooong drive..it's 423 miles from here. D: Good thing I keep buying books :P

I LOVE the name of that mountain, Mt. Iliamna. It seems so fun to say! How awesome that you saw so many of the volcanoes that you've heard about, and that you could see Kodiak Island!! Amazing :) I can't even imagine seeing a plethora of bears in one spot haha! That sounds like an amazing day, and shopping and eating are just extra perks on top of it :)

The sea otters at Seward sounded cute too, I love otters :) I definitely am curious to see what the really red jellyfish looked like. Have fun driving to Valdez, I'm glad you bought lots of books to keep yourself entertained hehe :P
