Another Week Gone By

Another week gone by.....in the blink of an eye. I know that I say that a lot, that time goes by so fast - because it DOES!
Let's see......Thursday last week it was the 4th of July (a big day here in the US in case you do not know). I started my day with a walk on a trail I recently discovered.

Later I went to Pier 39, a place here in Astoria (Oregon) popular with both locals and tourist. The weather has been spectacular. I sat down and just relaxed. It did not last for too long because some troglodyte decided to start fishing right mext to me. ??? With his kid in tow, the kid was not interested at all in his Dad's fishing skills (smart kid) and I was really hoping that the fish would stay away. The dude loudly announced that he had already caught two large sturgeons in that same location that same week but I guess that was not enough, he needed more. Unfortunately a poor fish got hooked and that meant that it was time for me to leave, no way that I am going to sit around and watch that.
So I drove back into town and got an ice cream and Frite & Scoop. I really wanted the licorice ice cream but they had discontinued it so I got the London fog instead. It was ok. I will give the place one more try.
Later in the evening the fireworks went OFF in Astoria. I don't think I have heard so many fireworks coming from EVERYWHERE. It was kind of crazy. I decided to drive off to a more quiet area so the dogs could get a break. Fireworks and animals is not always a good match. I feel bad for them. I am not a fan of fireworks around animals. I see all the fireworks I need at Burning Man. I saw that some locations in other places put on drone shows, I think I like that better.
Yeah another week went by......what else did I do?
I went back to Pier 39 to try a food place that recently opened - Athenas. I had the hummus plate with falafel. It was good.
I will have it again, next time I am bringing a book so I can really enjoy my time out there. It is so relaxing and so nice.
I mean.....look at this place.

There is a market here in Astoria every Sunday (Astoria Sunday Market from Mother's Day in May until mid October).
People are selling things like art and food. It is a poplular thing to do here on Sundays. I like the fresh local fruits and vegetables.

Since the days have been sunny and warm the evenings are amazing as well. I love walking by the water in the evening, it is so nice outside right now. I am trying to take it in as much as possible, in between being locked up in a dark club and also feeling kind of dejected in some ways.
