Ocean Shores

I just returned to Seattle with my cousin Donna after visiting Ocean Shores on Washington's windswept north west coast. Another cousin, Erna, lives there and invited us for a couple of days.

We spent much of the time searching for nautical antiques. Found plenty, but they were top-dollar expensive.

Erna wants me to move there and open a version of my business. I have to admit, I think it's a location where it would work.
Summers are packed with tourists but come winter, the place is deserted. Perfect time for traveling abroad.

We drove up and down the coast. Very beautiful in a rugged sort of way. Yes indeed, I could handle a move to Ocean Shores or nearby.

Tsunami

For days I've sat in disbelief, watching pictures of the loss of life and destruction in S. E. Asia, especially around Phuket, where I used to live. So far, all my friends there are all ok but severely shaken.

I still plan on heading to that region but I'm not sure just when or what supplies I should bring.

Others have recorded first-hand stories of the disaster. Just unbelieveable. Check this site:
