Friday Aug. 24, up early and to Aunt Carrie’s for breakfast. Joe would like to have given the girls a “kid”. After breakfast we started for the seashore. Got our cabin for the night $1.00. Here we enjoyed salmon, flounder and crab. Had our first sight of the Pacific. Such a noise, roar or whatever you may call it.
Up early on Sat. morning to be out on the beach when the tide was out. Found shells and pried star fish off the rocks. Back to the cabin for breakfast, took picture of tame deer, cooked the star fish, etc. Went back to the beach with swimming suits on. Ooo-oooh! was that water cold? Just like ice water and my how those waves did hit you. Swimming or rather playing with the waves is allowed only when the tide is coming in. (About six hours coming in and 6 hours going out.)
Had an early dinner and left our camp at Nelscott Beach. Got to Portland, a city of 302,000, on Sat. afternoon, could not find any trace of Linda, tried to phone Ebba, but no luck there either. Found Ellen Joneson at 2857 N.E. 46th Ave., had supper with her, visited a while and then went to a tourist camp in Eastern Portland and spent the night ($1.00)
