July 5, 6, 7 2010 Homer AK to Palmer AK





















We visited the last stop on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, Homer. It is a harbor town surrounded by mountains.










From there, we traveled up the coast to the small villages of Ninilchik and Kenai. Both of these towns were Russian settlements and are still very influenced by Russian traditions and families. Each has a beautiful Russian orthodox church.


Nous avons finalement atteint le point le plus au sud de la peninsule de Kenai, le village de Homer. Village entoure de montagnes mais inonde de pecheurs. En remontant la cote, nous avons decouvert plusieurs villages qui datent de l'epoque ou l'Alaska etait encore un territoire russe. Des villages qui ont toujours garde leurs traditions comme en temoignent ces deux petites chapelles de style russe orthodoxe.
