July 21, 2010, Wednesday FLORENCE, OR

We got to Florence pretty early in the afternoon and after setting up we wanted to see the beach. I change out of my Levis into my shorts and flip flops and we take off on our bikes with Daisy on her leash. OK Daisy on her leash usually walks really well between the bikes as we ride along. However, the streets here are very narrow, and we had to keep stopping and moving over for cars, so taking Daisy was a mistake. We wanted to take her because she really likes the beach. When we were in Texas she ran on the beach every day and loved it. Anyway, you can’t imagine how cold the beach is here. Mike was smart enough to wear a hoodie and long pants and good shoes. It is a beautiful beach, but the wind was so cold and blowing so hard we didn’t last long there.
