Walk-up Drive-up

Strangers in a strange land. Our first day in Washington, Barb walks through the open door of a quikie-mart in Olympia and gets yelled at. “This is walk-up drive-up only, you can’t come in here!!!” Doh!

Best birds have been: great looks at an American Bittern, flock of 300 Marbled Godwits (and two Willets trying to blend in) wheeling around Willapa Bay, close-up of a surf scoter and it’s psychedelic bill.

Cranberries straight from the bog. Sweeeeeet!?
