Sight seeing

We have been having a great time here and seeing lots of people we have met on our travel around the states. Seems lots of people like it up here this time of year. Lonnie and Betty came here just to see us as we have not chatted in some time. Then there are lots of the pool players we have met in southern Calif. here too. It is always fun catching up with friends. Yesterday we took the bike to Astoria so Gloria could have her Tuna Fish and Chips at the Bowpicker. I don't care for Tuna so I just ate her chips.

Then it was off to sight see. First we went to the Bumble Bee Salmon cannery. There is a free museum there and it was nice to see how they canned food back then. It is on Pier 39 if you are ever here. 

We then went to the Astoria Heritage Museum. It told about the Indians who lived in the area and the people who settled the land. It was a good place to learn about the history of Astoria.

 Then we went to Fort Stevens again but did not stay as we had seen it before and didn't feel like we wanted to see it again but the Guard House was open this time so we checked it out. Glad I never had to go in one of them. hehehe

Next we went to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park that is the site of Fort Clatsop. This is where they built a fort and stayed for the winter in 1805. We had been there before but I wanted to see it again. I is a great part of our history of the west.

We will be here till Tuesday and then head north into Washington for the next two month.
