A Few Quiet Days

Hi All,

The last few days have been pretty quiet here on the Oregon coast. On Friday we were set up for nearly three hours before our first visitors arrived. The common murres that we hope to watch breeding on the offshore rocks have been spooked by eagles. Usually they are gone by noon. When they all fly off, we show visitors sea lions across the bay and pelicans resting on the rocks.

We meet lots of interesting people, many from Eugene and Portland but today we met a Swiss couple bicycling across America on vacation. They started in Miami!!! We should be so energetic.

Friday after work we drove to Eugene to attend Shabbat services at Temple Beth Israel. The services were very musical and we were welcomed warmly by the local congregants. 

We have worked 8 of the last 9 days and now we have 5 days off. Tomorrow we drive to the Seattle area to visit friends we made when we lived there in the mid 70's.

Love
Sandy & Carl

This is how people find us
