DAY 40
FRIDAY, JULY 27
"Into every life, a little rain must fall."
I'm not sure where that came from but it applies for today.
The disappointing thing about the overcast, damp drizzly day was that
we had only today that we might have driven to see Mount Rainier,
the Glacier Capped mountain, at least fifty-one miles from the
campground we had chosen for that purpose. We spent the day
in our RV, getting caught up on our Blog.
Russ had plenty to do on his computer.
I also had fun creating two Seattle Collages,
with my HP Photo Creations program, and
have added them to our Travel Journal.
Today, about 4 PM, I took a walk to the Dock and did take
these waterlily and Thistle pictures.
DAY 41
SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2012
Today was a travel day from Lake Sawyer to Elma, Washington, via Interstate 5.
It was only an 82 mile move, and took us from 10:30 AM to 12:15 PM,
partly because of the slow down of five lanes of traffic around the State Capitol of OLYMIA, where we got off at Exit 104 to take Washington Rt. 8 WEST. Along that area
we saw the beginning of the foothills of the Mountains,
similar to our own Adirondacks in New York State.
Once we got settled into our ELMA RV Park, we decided to take a drive to Gray's Harbor Lighthouse, at the recommendation, of Rea in the office. She also
recommended dinner at THE ONE EYED CRAB, at 1020 West Ocean Avenue in Westport, and
it was oh so good. We are so glad we made reservations,
by calling 360-268-6214, because the waterfront restaurant has limited seating.
While we were there one family of eleven took quite a bit of space, and
another was waiting for them to finish.
I played it smart and ordered their salad with a huge (Half) portion of
Dungeness Crab on top. They did all the work, and I had all the fun.
Russ finally fulfilled his dream of putting his feet into the Pacific Ocean.

Remains of a Sand Dollar, and Dungeness Crab shell.
Kites being flown at the beach.
It was fun to watch and try to photograph.
One family had several kites they got into the air.
That is it for now.
We are learning that having a quiet day, once in a while
makes us appreciate those days when we have so
much to see and do - - -
and take pictures of.
Holy cow...Day forty of the thirty-day tour. Looks like you have had a little trouble here and there, but also that you are seeing some beautiful country and interesting people and places. Heat wave is still on here. Around 102 on farm thermometer.
