After spending 13 years in a High
Desert environment, the rains in Oregon ’s Willamette
Valley were a welcome
change. Walks in a gentle rain are not uncommon. However, this winter has been
an unusually ‘WET’ one. The desire to take walks when it’s raining and the
winds are 20-40 mph has become less frequent, causing the feeling of becoming
‘House-bound’. As one to frequently use
the adage that a “Bad day at the Beach is better than a Good day at Work”, the
feeling of a need to GO WEST for a few days won out.
We opted to stay overlooking the harbor so that if it did
continue to rain, we would at least have a pleasant view. Since the showers came and went throughout
the day, we managed a walk along the harbor without getting too wet.
Although there were no spectacular sunsets, it was a
pleasant and restful getaway. When we were just relaxing, we were entertained
by the seals swimming in front of our deck, taking their fill of the fresh
fish.
