I have to apologize for not posting to the blog for a few days but we're staying in Chinook, WA. Chinook is on the Columbia River, sort of across the river from Astoria, OR. We're actually about 6 miles north of the Astoria bridge. Here in Chinook there is no TV reception on the antenna, the RV park in which we're staying has trees that block the satellite, and there is no wifi. There are no sewers in which to dump your waste water, grey or black, and the showers are about a block away from the coach. It was the 3rd choice in trying to find a place here during the kite festival and Judy sensibly grabbed it when she could.

So, a couple of cable TV channels ($1.00/day) and that's it. Life is good and it's amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun.

We'll actually be spending most of our time in Long Beach where the kites are. It's just 10 miles from theRV park. The kites are up this morning. I drove out to see while Judy stayed behind at the laundromat in Long Beach doing our laundry.

I had to come into town to the internet coffee house to update the blog.

So, for this week don't expect much in the way of updates. I'm sure I'll have lots of neat kite pictures to share next week, however.
