Breakfast followed the same fashion today. More amazing dishes including an apple cinnamon slice. I found myself wishing we were being served the usual huge portions but that would of course have been gluttonous.
Our first activity for the day was a walk around the historic houses of Astoria - like Port Townsend there are beautiful houses and a ripe history which included the movement of many houses from location to the next - I am thinking this may be where America's love of RVs stemmed from.
Our walk then took us along the water front, past the east mooring basin (featured in the Goonies) where many noisy, smelly sea lions live, and onto Pier 39 where we had beer and burgers next to an old cannery and yet more coffee in the Coffee Girl Cafe to fuel our caffeine habits.
Caroline, I saw this in the cannery and thought of you:
We considered getting the trolley (tram) back along the front but the sun was shining and we couldn't leave without seeing the Goonies house ;-) Back in town we picked up our bikes, drank coffee in the Astoria Coffee house and had the most amazing (yet huge) meals in the Urban Cafe to the sound of live music.The Gonnies house:
Tim pre-hair and beard cut!!
In pursuit of an early night to prepare us for the next leg of our cycling, we had nice long soaks in the bath and finally managed to stay awake long enough to watch the Goonies. Being of a different generation, Tim had never seen it - so it was like educating him on my childhood!
