Sunshine greated us again today as we spent our last morning at Hood River Oregon. We began the day with a great breakfast in the riverside restaurant. The oatmeal was extra tasty, maybe because of the rainsens, hazelnuts & poached pear Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
We surprised ourselves (is that possible) with a decision to take the bridge across the Columbia River to the state of Washington.
We followed the river west for about 100 miles and the view was amazing. Mt Hood looks even larger from the opposite side.
We drove through some clouds and it was pretty neat to see clouds floating at our eye level.
After crossing back over the Columbia river to Oregon, we drove on to Astoria. The port there is huge and had many ships. Not far from there is the landing spot of the Lewis & Clark expedition, so, of course, we had to check that out. It was interesting, especially when we walked through a rain forest (really) to get to part of the site.
After leaving there we drove down to Seaside where we are lodging tonight right on the ocean. Seaside is a major tourist town, but luckily the numbers are down because it is November. We will look around here some tomorrow, but we will head further South on Hwy 101 looking for rougher shoreline. Seaside has a huge beach shoreline, which is nice, but we both want r u g g e d!
Love to all, GOD IS GOOD
