cape perpetua

I went on a hike at Cape Perpetua. It is supposed to have one of the best views of the oregon coast.

Unfortunately just as I arrived the fog started coming in so when I got to the top viewpoint all I could see was a white wall.

But I could still hear the ocean waves crashing below so it was a different kind of nice.
I may try and go back tomorrow or Sunday if the fog goes away.
(this is my last weekend in Oregon...)

pacific northwest adventures

I went to Seattle and Portland. Unfortunately I only got to spend a day in Seattle and a few hours in Portland. I'll have to find time to go again sometime.

I picked blueberries off the bush.
I've never liked blueberries from the store, but my coworkers convinced me that fresh Oregon blueberries are completely different.
They were right and I bought 1/4 of a flat to take back home to Hatfield.

The next day we picked wild blackberries next to some old railroad tracks. My arms and legs got very scratched but it was worth it for the 3 liters I ended up picking.

so tasty.

so yummy.

I've been slacking.
sorry.
I'm going to Seattle this weekend, so I will have exciting adventures to share after that.
Happy Wednesday!

at Da Vinci Days festival in Corvallis, OR

Oregon Country Fair

I went to the Oregon Country Fair last weekend. It was a hippie music, art, and craft festival. It was lots of fun but a tad unsettling seeing so many women without shirts with their breasts painted. Luckily the men (mostly) kept their clothes on despite the heat.

I went surfing again. Liz brought her waterproof camera. Liz goes to CSUMB, only 15 minutes from my home and 45 minutes from UCSC. I think we will be good friends after this summer!
