What I Did This Summer, by Joaquin Maguire age [redacted]
So I took a week off and we went to the coast. It was fantastic. We stayed in the Tennessee Williams room at the Sylvia Beach hotel
We investigated intriguing rocks.
Then we went and stayed in a beach house with Portland’s greatest living author, Matthew Flaming and his wife and child. While there we ate at an awesome diner in Waldport.
and did some cooking at home.
We visited more beaches, this time with the sprout (who we see here looking sort of like Ringo on the cover of Abbey Road).
We also went on a serious fishing adventure and returned with a ridiculous quantity of bass. Unfortunately, only Matthew had the presence of mind to bring a camera suitable for wielding out the middle of the ocean. Perhaps if we plead enough he will pass on some pictures and we’ll get them up here eventually.
We left just in time to avoid it being sunny.
On the way home we made a brief stop in Philomath by this awesome building.
We were expecting serious abuse from Yoshi when we got home, but he came around fairly quickly. I wonder if he had basically despaired of our returning and was too relieved that we were back at all to punish us for staying away.
