Fourth of July is a long weekend in the States, so rode the train down to Portland, then headed out to the Oregon coast with Ginger, Kurt and baby Sam. This is Haystack rock, home to many sensitive puffins (no fireworks allowed on the whole beach).
Also home to the giant sand squid, a ferocious creature that nevertheless is most considerate in arranging its victims’ footwear neatly.
It brightened up enough later on to enjoy a glass of wine (or milk) and some cheesy crackers in the dunes.
The next day, it was drizzly and grey – what better time to skip the 4th of July parade (see cute dog below) and head to the beautiful Short Sands bay for some boogie boarding.
Hood, booties and gloves obligatory – this water is cold!
Kurt seems to be enjoying himself though…
As did Karen and I! Super surf, clean water and gorgeous surroundings.
