Day 10 - Around Long Beach, WA and Astoria, OR

Slept into 8:30. Nice. English muffin and half a morning glory muffin for breakfast and then off to Astoria.

First stop was in Warrington and Fred Meyer for a couple of items and a Starbucks. Then a drive south to Seaside, which was nothing but traffic and directions to a Wells Fargo that no longer exists. Discouraged we turned around and found a Wells Fargo’s in Astoria. Simple request for a printout of the last 10 days required a banker, who were of course all busy. Not at all the level of customer service I expect.

Son Jeff recommended the Buoy for lunch and it was a real winner. Great table right on the Columbia River. Ordered their Buoy Oysters. These are pan-fried Willapa Bay oysters, with jalapeƱo jelly and a goat cheese pearl. Probably the best oysters I have ever had. I’m seriously thinking about going back tomorrow just for another order.

Weather here today in a cool 59 degrees, with a little fog blowing in occasionally. At 2:32 it was 114 degrees at home.

In the afternoon we took a walk down to the beach expecting to see the ocean. It was gone. Apparently we were witnessing a very, very low tide. The ocean was so far out we could barely see it. Not inclined to walk that far we returned to the house. Later we drove over to the restaurant at the local golf course for fish and chips.

Tomorrow Barb wants to hit the local COSTCO and I still need to find a Wells Fargo. I’ll probably try to find a reason to have another oyster lunch.
