Some people take vacations in Paris...
We prefer the Oregon coast:

Southern Oregon Coast

(Sunset)

Cape Blanco

(that's a human, not a bird, at the base of the rock)

Bandon

Heceta Head Lighthouse

(look closely)

Karen's favorite part was visiting the Cape Perpetua Tidepools at low tide.

The white "speckles" on the rocks are mussels.

Looking closely into any tidepool reveals much sea life, such as starfish and
sea anemones.

Karen quickly made friends in this environment.

The drive up the coast comes to an end in Astoria.

Astoria Column atop the hill overlooking the city.
