after the 2nd trip to the market, we decided there wasn’t anything more we really wanted to do in Portland, and concurrently that we wanted to take the slow route home and go out to the coast. by then it was clearing up, and soon after we got out of town it was warm enough to switch to tank top/sandals (me) and shorts (C).

dinner, late, at Denny’s in Oly - a bevy of teenage Christian theater people. the girls had that off-kilter manic energy that teenage girls so often have in groups.
and then home, around 11 pm. I just crashed out….
(I really, really, really wish I had photos. but I don’t have a dig. camera yet, and I even forgot my film camera!)
