Day 18 - The Pacific Coast

Ruby Beach
Left the rain forest for the beach!  Ruby Beach is just beautiful!  The ocean roars. The water is clear. The rocks are gray and black, flat and smooth. The sand is gray.  The water is cold!!!

Glenn and Marianne
The Lake Quinault area was beautiful, but it was still on the edge of the rain forest. We're ready to dry out!  Found an ideal spot at a state park called Pacific Beach.  We are on the beach.  (And of course sea fog rolls in right when we do.)  There are kites EVERYWHERE!!!  I couldn't wait to get on my bike and go to town and buy something to put on the camper to fly.  Found out they had a kite festival over the weekend.  It must be a big deal!  Anyway, we met this couple, Glenn and Mariann and they gave me a kite to fly, albeit teeny tiny. By the way, they won first place for their patriotic red, white and blue kites. But I could walk down the beach with it tied on to me and enjoy life. The fog lifted and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the Pacific.  And, the greatest part was that everything dried out.  Wish our Texas gulf coast beaches were this way!
