September 15 - Long Beach, Washington


Barb - We enjoyed a very nice day by spending it walking on the beach - I think there were 3 long beach walks - morning, afternoon, and after supper! We located a nice sandwich shop in Long Beach and enjoyed lunch at one of their picnic tables. The night sky was very clear so we faced the lounge chairs west to the ocean and watched the stars (under blankets!). It is a very different view out the side windows of the RV - sea grass for maybe 800 feet, then beach, then ocean. The species of crab here is sizable and orange/red in shell color, and we've found some broken sand dollars. The beach is wide enough to allow driving access from town, but thank goodness it isn't a choice of everyone to do that.



Ed - Today was a vacation day - we did nothing important. We sat on the beach, walked on the beach and then walked on the beach some more. By evening, it was still clear without any clouds in the sky so we walked to the beach and watched the sun go down. That was fun but we were glad we carried our jackets. About 9:00, we moved back outside and sat in our lawn chairs to watch the stars come out. The temperature dropped from about 72 to 56 degrees in two or three hours so we brought out our wool blankets to cover up with. We watched the stars rise and saw 3 meteorites during the hour we stayed outside.
