Getting to know Astoria INTIMATELY!


Yes, we are getting to know Astoria very well! This is our 5th day here, and we are pretty much out of little jobs to do on the boat. Today we went on the trolley-again- to town, intending to go to the Sunday market and then down the line to the Safeway store for a few provisions. We got to the market, went out for lunch, went to the top of the Elliot Hotel (on the advice of the waiter) for a spectacular view of the river, then sat around waiting for the trolley (which is no New York subway, let me tell you) to go to the Safeway, farther down the line. But we got tired of waiting for the trolley, and pretty soon all anyone really wanted to do was catch the trolley back to the boat and do the Safeway trip tomorrow. So we did. Now people are crashing left and right.
The weather has been windy and patchy clouds in Astoria, but very little rain. That's been nice. Not really much to report.

Hi Patty,

You can be our tour guide next time we are in Astoria! According to Sandy's blog, you were planning on leaving Astoria today. I'm wondering if that happened. Pam mentioned that she might stop by to see you on the way to Long Beach. Not much to report on here. I'm going to BBC tomorrow to meet with Angie but glad I'm not there for anything else! I'm hoping that by the time you read this you have crossed the bar and enjoying good weather!
