Live! From Cannon Beach!!!

[dolphins_log]

 Juli and I drove down to Cannon Beach last night... in the dark...  late...  with nice music on the CD player.  It was very reminiscent of some of our middle-o-the-night ocean trips back in high school with Brian and Co.  It's been that long since I've gone to the Ocean late at night.

 

There was a decent wind storm when we got here.  While our room doesn't have much of an ocean view, if we open the window we can hear it.  The wind literally roared down the chimney for most of the night.  Fun!!!

 

This morning after breakfast Juli and I strolled down the beach in the sunshine.  It's rather warm, actually.  Juli just wore a sweatshirt and I, my jacket.  We have some great pictures of silhouetted people in the mist in front of "The Rock".  Some of the shots are spectacular silvery things.  Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera cables, so I can't post them.  Ah well.  Much of the sand has washed out to sea for the winter, as is its pattern.  The tide was high and the sneaker waves were catching many sneakers off guard.  We were very watchful strollers and stayed dry.

We spent much of the reminder of the day walking the shops in town.  This is actually Veterans Weekend, so the town is rather full.  that explains why we couldn't get an ocean front room at the last minute.  I bought some interesting vocal music compilations.... sort of country, sort of not, soft stuff that one of the shops were playing.

We've made reservations for dinner at our favorite restaurant, The Driftwood Inn.  We though that might be smart.  ...well, the manager just wrote our names down and said "your on the list" so I'm not really sure what that means.  Maybe we didn't need them.

 

Now we're sitting and relaxing with internet and books, though the internet connection cuts in and out. The fireplace is on.  Juli made coffee, and we're reading and eating saltwater taffy to the rhythm of the falling waves.  It's a good day.
