Hot Beach

This is supposed to be the ending photo. It's of the cove at Seaside taken last December.  I tried putting it at the end 7 times, but it keeps popping up here at the beginning,  so here it stays.

It was hot at Seaside on Sunday. Hot.  Really. We sat on a log close to the surf at the cove and I was sweating. Just sitting on a log I felt uncomfortably hot. Only people who frequent Oregon beaches will understand my utter disbelief at this occurrence.

We took the long way to Seaside stopping at the pharmacy  for Toms's pain meds and of course Starbucks to get a New York Times. By the time we hit the highway it was 1:30.  Tom took two hydromorphones and declared himself painless. It was a smooth, peaceful drive.  Our first stop in Seaside was the Bell Bouy as planned.  We split a prawns and chips on the sunny deck overlooking the creek.

Best seafood and chips around. I like their
coleslaw with pineapple.

Their weren't many surfers at the cove. A cloudless hot day but the ocean must have been soupy.

A Tom on a Log.  Surfer carrying board in distance.

After a few hours of watching the surf we headed into town to walk the turn-a-round and of course got to one of Tom's absolute favorite stores, The Buzz.

If you are not familiar with The Buzz, they carry every kind of candy that you have ever had or dreamed of, that is still being produced.  I won't bore you with a catalogue of  pictures of all the
candy trips down memory lane, but I could't resist a few photos.

Candy Couple Can't Decide

Yum! Crunchy Goodness.

Yes, that is chocolate dipped bacon, and oreos, and Twinkies, and  a honey bun.  But don't be disappointed,  they also have that raspberry cheesecake dipped Twinkie you wanted. See? It's right next to the dipped bacon Twinkie!
Bon Apetit!
