by Erin Coyle July 6, 2022

It is turtle season in Oman, which means there are chances to watch turtles laying eggs, covering them, and watching them go back into the water. It is simply amazing…

While eating Omani-style fish and rice mixed with cumin and other Arabic spices for dinner, one can’t help but look around to appreciate the quiet while the soft light comes…

So … Vegas! Such a mixed bag for me. Noice, flashy bright lights, late hours, crass commercialism, and an opulent, over the top aesthetic; just not my thing. And yet; I always enjoy myself here! I LOVE the people watching, the seeing what’s new, what’s changed, those small moments snd visuals that are just not part of home … or anywhere else.
.
So here’s me at a slot machine. My standing joke is that when servers come around and get me a well drink, the casino has already lost money on me. That’s how little I spend gambling. Okay, slight exaggeration but it’s true that nooooo casino will be sending me offers for comp stays. Viva Las Vegas!

Vegas at night, from our room at the Bellagio. A blast of warmth and sunshine, miles and miles of concrete stepping, great eats and drinks, people watching, some window shopping, and pool time. No shoes or out of the city park hikes, but a wonderful and easy little getaway. And I do enjoy that Bellagio fountain.

Vegas at night from the Bellagio and riding the High Roller Ferris wheel. A blast of warmth and sunshine, miles and miles of concrete stepping, great eats and drinks, people watching, some window shopping, and pool time.

I’ve got my daughter’s two dogs with me for awhile and it’s been grand fun. They are the sweetest, most lovable moppets. Big, hairy lugs. That vacuum canister photo? I have to vacuum every other day and that full canister is one of about seven! But—pure sweetness!

A little happy hour cheer in the sun with writer/artist friends and our old hang-out, 503! Their wine list and cocktails are fabulous but I’m especially partial to their Manhattans! Love that 10 year old port and and amarena cherries.

Just a bit of the Astoria-Megler Bridge (it’s 4.067 miles/6.6 km long!) with the Cannery Pier Hotel and a bit of Pier39, which houses Rogue Ales, a maritime exhibit, shops and a coffee house.

Where can you go to see a shipwreck on the beach?

Where can you go to see a shipwreck on the beach? The one sort-of kind-of in my backyard is the Peter Iredale. This English cargo ship heading to the Columbia River ran ashore in 1906. Its visibility—and lack thereof—has changed over the years with the ever changing Pacific shoreline, storms and tides. But it’s great fun to walk around the wreckage.
.
The first photos are recent and the last is one is an old film shot of mine from the early 90’s that allows you to glimpse the wreckage from bow to stern.
.
A must when you visit Fort Stevens State Park in Warrenton, Oregon!
