Thursday
We made it to the ocean today, and much to our delight, we brought the great weather with us! At 7pm it was 70 degrees and sunny! We dug our feet in the sand and I waded into the (warm) ocean. It was (and is) so wonderful.. I write this now at 11pm, and through the open window behind me, I hear the waves crashing on the beach. Our campsite is a few feet from the steps down to the sand.
According to our raft guide, the past few nights were the height of the Persaid (?) Meteor shower, and should have peaked last night, but we saw 3 shooting stars tonight in twilight.
So far, this trip has been the most amazing adventure. By pure dumb luck, we have had exceptional weather and Oregon has been quite breathtaking. We have done everything you can posssibly do on vacation and have only traveled 600 miles so far. Desert, mountain and beach… Biking, hiking, rafting, and dipping our toes in the ocean…
Can’t wait to see what the next 3 days has in store for us!!!
