Beach Day:
Clatsop loop hike: 1.25 miles of uphill climbing and picture taking, seeing only a few people. At the turn-around point there was a beautiful expanse of cloud covering the lighthouse viewpoint, creating the feeling of being over the Earth. I ate lunch, sitting on a picnic table watching body surfers below and hearing a yippy dog bark.
Beach: I sat in my chair on the hard sand, soaked in the sun (sun!), listened to my daily meditation, took pictures, read, relaxed. Then I walked along the water, getting wet and chilly, eventually sitting super close to the water, watching it ebb and flow, ebb and flow.
