Oysters and the ocean

Time to update this again.... Aunt Helen registered a complaint that I wasn't doing this enough so .... gotta get busy!
We spent three days in Westport at Greyland State park.



Westport is a working fishing port with lots of fresh seafood. The seafood chowder is to die for..... but... the best part is Brady's oyster farm near town.
A dozen oysters on the BBQ makes a great dinner.
Just pop them on the grill...... turn them over once ....








Shuck the little guys, grab some cocktail sauce and have at it! For those of you who don't like oysters.... I feel bad for you!









On Saturday we headed south to Nehalem, Oregon to visit friends and enjoy the coast. We crossed the Columbia River into the town of Astoria. As you can see here the Columbia is wide as it enters the ocean.







Nehalem State park includes several miles of beach. We walked over the dunes and were rewarded with a wonderful view of the ocean on a truly spectacular day.






Another great day at the beach. We'll spend the next two days exploring the beaches from here to Astoria, visiting friends and spending time with Sharleen's sister and brother-in-law who will join us here tonight.
