Slip slap, slip slap, slip slap.

It is still ringing in my ears ....... the windshield wipers slapping back forth, incessantly, non stop, without let up. The investment in the pricey "Wet Tec" wipers a few days ago is paying off. They work great, but are wearing out quickly.
The day started out with light overcast and very mild temperatures, but quickly deteriorated. When the rain would let up for minute or two, we turned off the road onto one of the many scenic pullouts to take a quick walk on the beach or snap a few photos. The Oregon Coast is quite simply spectacular. The surf is very high everywhere. Very Dramatic. Not much traffic makes for a very relaxing drive in spite of the winding, wet road. I quite enjoyed it, except I keep thinking how much better it would be in the sunshine.
Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
Eureka (California). We found it and will stay the night here. We went for a brisk walk just before dark and found some amazing heritage houses just blocks from our Motel and will take some photos in the morning light. I will post un-edited and non-Photo Shopped photos if I can figure out how to do it with the photo programs loaded onto this laptop. Mainly I have to figure out how to re-size them.

Love the updates!
It's not much drier here.
The family 'do' tonight was grand. A bit noisy with all the kids but that's normal I guess.
