Driving the Kenai Peninsula

After enjoying the Mt. Marathon race and a nice dinner at the Seward Brewing Company, it's now moving day. We're driving from one end of the Kenai peninsula to the other.  Our home for the next three nights will be the town of Homer on the western tip.  Before leaving, we took a few photos of all of the murals in town.  Seward bills itself as the mural capital of Alaska.  A great demonstration of public art and how to liven up the community

.

We made a couple of stops along the way at Kenai Lake and Cooper Landing and drove the Skilak Lake Road in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.  We were hoping to spot some moose or bear, but no such luck.  We were treated to some awesome views and scenery.

Russian Orthodox Church

We made a final stop in the City of Kenai to see the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church.  It dates to the 1890's and is the oldest Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska.

We have an AirBnB in Homer so looking forward to cooking some meals and getting some laundry done for the 2nd half of our trip.
