A Recap of My Trip to the Coast
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Friends,
Here is a recap of my trip to the coast this weekend (26-29 Jun 2008):
Every mile, along Everett-Lynnwood Highway 99, there is a 7-11 store. Some people need that. I had forgotten about it, just as I had forgotten the ever-present mildew and the congested traffic. HOV lanes are no longer an exclusive element of the freeway, several cities have class lanes through shopping and business areas. And, there are billboards everywhere expounding the virtues of the new regional transit system. They could have purchased a dozen busses with the ad expense.
Saturday morning, I sat on the park bench at the Edmonds beach and watched the ferries come and go. There was a lot of activity along the waterfront with all the seagulls, crows and kingfishers. I walked up the hill to my wife’s truck but took a walking detour through town before heading out. It was enjoyable to stroll through the downtown area of Edmonds and look at all the changes. That brought back a boat-load of memories.
