Westport, WA

Continuing our tour of Westport on a very chilly May day.

I did some beach combing.  Got a couple pieces of driftwood, shells and some rocks.  The surf pounds everything to dust.  No beach glass or Japanese floats.

There's that ginormous flag all the way downtown

These windbreaks look so cozy.

Cue "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister.

I couldn't resist.

*sniff*

This nuclear plant in Satsop was never finished or opened.

A Grey Day in Grays Harbor County

We were promised a sunny day on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.  I decided to make the long trek out to the coast to say my fare-thee-wells to the Pacific Ocean at Westport.  I left at about 7:00 under grey skies.  Hey at least it wasn't raining so that's about the best you can hope for up here. 

This bridge in Aberdeen (or "Scaberdeen" as I call it) reminds me of a Star Wars Imperial Walker.

Westport is about 100 miles one way from my house.  Took a little over 90 minutes to make the drive.

I bought souvenirs here.

Westport's Marina really reminded me of Sandwich.

I cannot emphasize enough just how cold and windy it was on that top deck.  

A mouldering phone booth, which is actually a necessity in this area because there is no cell service.

I was a bad girl in this souvenir shop.

*cackle*

Biggest flag I've ever seen
