Sea and sand

Not everything is magical woods in Oregon. Ali, Alexandra and I went to the ocean because Ali was interested in hiking the highest dune in the state of Oregon. It was a short but hard hiking! I had never walked on this kind of sand so I found it hard.

However, it was worthwhile. Okey, I guess I can say now that I have been on top of the highest dune in Oregon...

Our trip started with a visit to a lighthouse. I don't remember the name so I will ask Ali. It's not the most beautiful lighthouse in Oregon, I find the Haceda one much nicer.




This is my name on the top of the Dune. It lasted for, at least, thirty seconds. It was really windy and freezing there!




This is when we were going down from the top. There were around 1 or 2 kilos of sand inside my shoes!



Tela, our usual leader, wasn't really happy this time. I guess she doesn't like the sand...




Ali and I trying the cold Pacific Ocean waters. It's the third time in my life that I am by the Pacific (the first one was in Japan, the second one in San Francisco). This is, at last, my first (and short) bath in the Pacific Ocean! It was cooooooold!!




Alexandra, with more common sense than us, didn't try the cold water.





Finally, the tree adventure takers (sorry Tela is not in the picture) in the State of Oregon. Thanks for a good day, Ali and Alex!!
