My friend Moorea and I took a roadtrip to Homer which is a super cute town about 4 hours drive from Seward. We went 'work-related' to go shadow the Fish and Game Department to see how they process and analysis all the biological data we got from our jobs this summer. It was pretty sweet, we got put up in this bunkhouse which was really nice and clean, and had the best view over the Homer Spit from its deck.
From my pictures I took it seems there was more of a drinking theme to the trip, I'm OK with that.
We headed to the Bear Creek Winery, which mixes wine with fun Alaskan goodies like Berries and gooseberries..and rhubard. Its not really for the typical wine connoisseur but its super deliciouso and different.
We sampled their christmas wine special which was mixed with lots of festive flavours- it seriously tasted like xmas in a glass.
We got a little tour being the only tourists there. They were at the beginning of making their rhubard wine at the time.
Moving on to the next drink, we headed to the Downtown Saloon, a very local bar to watch football. (Well, not me obviously, but I did enjoy some nice Sierra Nevada's and free popcorn)
Next stop was dinner at Fat Olives-my fav restaurant in Homer! Seward lacks anywhere decent to eat in the winter so we were all about eating too. We absolutely stuffed ourselves, I couldn't sleep that night from indigestion.
To top off our bellies we went to the pub and finished the night off with a baileys and coffee, and a quiz where we learned that 'Harry Banknote' means Beaver pelt. I now use it daily in my vocab.
Good times Homer, Good times.
