Friday, with a video

I’m not really in the mood to write, but I also want to remember all the fun things today. I started with yoga with Christen, lots of planks. Also a twisted pigeon at which I failed so badly that she and I both started laughing in the middle. Dave read on the porch. It was a beautiful morning so when I got back we had a little breakfast (carrs whole wheat biscuits in milk for me!)  and went for a walk on the beach. We made it most of the way to Haystack before the sky turned threatening and we headed back. On the beach were many of the weirdest looking things, like tubes. When you step on them the squirt! Thanks to Sally we think they are pyrosomes  (http://www.opb.org/news/article/massive-bloom-of-pickle-shaped-sea-creatures-fills-the-pacific/).

We walked back through town and discovered that there was no line at Cannon Beach Distillery, so we stopped in and bought their new whiskey. As we were headed back to the hotel Dave got a text from Kevin and Julia saying they were at the distillery, so we went back and did some tasting with them, then off to lunch at the new Cannon Beach Smokehouse restaurant. It was fun but no need to go back.

Many people out to see the sunset!

They headed off and we did a little shopping, then back to the room for naptime (Dave) and knitting (me). When Dave woke up we went for a short walk to see the sunset, then came back and got ready for dinner at the Bistro, where the food is always better than we expect it to be. Except now they do this weird thing where they kneel down by your table to talk to you, which is kind of creepy.

After dinner we headed to the Coaster Theater for a strange but wonderful adaptation of a Christmas Carol. The singing and dancing were worse than ever, but the overall effect was magnificent.  Particularly Marley’s ghost, whose makeup and demeanor were an all-out homage to David Bowie in Labyrinth.

We’re hoping for more downtime tomorrow.
