Friday, July 31

We arrived in Anchorage yesterday to close on the house we’ve been working on since May. The sellers are realtors who no longer live in AK. They live in Idaho and have been renting the home out to military folks here at the Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson for several years. This couple had a hugely inflated sense of the value of the home and have had it on and off the market many times for years and always asking way too much for it. We negotiated with them a bit at first back in May until we reached our limit and walked away. A couple weeks later they came back to us asking if we were still interested in the house at our final offer and we accepted, but that didn’t end the challenges we and our realtor continue to have with them and their realtor. It is clear they are all simply done with the house and after having it on and off the market for years I can’t really blame them.

Anyway, Rob and I weren’t holding our breath that everything would actually come together, but it did!!!!!! Hooray!!! We own a house – again. Completing all of the details necessary to buy a house while living on the road out of an RV is challenging and stressful at best.  Doing much of this while traveling through a foreign country didn’t help. It’s hard for me to think of Canada as a foreign country but it is and AT&T and the postal service make that perfectly clear. Thank goodness for digital docu-sign services and online access to banking.

After closing on the house we now don’t have access to the house until the next business day when the title is filed with the State of AK. Well being that today is Friday we won’t get keys until Monday, so we stopped by the house to take a peek  (the grass hasn’t been mowed all summer and it looks bad) and then we decided to continue our adventuring in Lenny.

We travelled down the Kenai peninsula to Homer, AK. The Kenai river which travels the length of the peninsula and is a fresh water river from glacial runoff is that gorgeous turquoise color and is full of salmon running and thus full of fisherman and bears. We are at the height of the salmon running. Late July and early August there are 10’s of thousands of salmon that run from the ocean back to their spawning area up the Kenai river.

Homer is at the end of the peninsula and is all about tourists, commercial fishing and guided fishing tours. There is a ferry terminal here at the port so a lot of people park their vehicles on the street and leave them there while they are traveling. There is a seven day parking limit and no camping allowed, so we’re not “camping” tonight we’re just parked on the side of the road and sleeping in our vehicle.

The mountains across the ocean bay are beautiful.  Rob and Paisley REALLY wanted to see Olivia go swimming in Homer.And when the tide goes out it leaves these beautiful images behind in the sand. The tide goes out a height of over 22 vertical feet each day.
