Florence, Or. Sept.3

Florence is a place that the entire family loves. We tried to buy  a place here 2 years ago but couldn't get the sellers to agree to anything but a suitcase full of cash.  We couldn't find a suitcase so we lost the deal.

We arrived tired and road shaken and hungry. The rv park is great, just 2 blocks from the beach. We tried to walk it last night but the wind was dermabrasion strong. This morning was something else. Heceta beach has the feeling of one of Dali's late 30's landscapes. The beach goes on flat and wide for 3 to 4 miles. There is no drop off so you can walk for 400 feet into the ocean and only be knee high in water.  This shallow flatness allows the waves to wash up the beach as if they where poured out of a bucket. This flat surrealistic landscape is a place that all of us recognize as good for us. We hated to leave it 2 years ago and we will miss it when we go tomorrow.
Andrea is sitting n the sun with her NOOK, I am in the shade writing and Lily is watching Sponge Bob. The good episode where Sponge Bob explains the Myth of Sisyphus to Patrick.
Nice day today- much better than yesterday.
