Following the sun...er, rain

Here I sit, in the Visitor's Center in Forks, WA. They advertise free wi-fi, so I walked in, and am now sitting in the ONE chair in this very small place surrounded by people asking for "Vampire Maps", "The Giant Spruce Tree", and "The Twilight Statue". Only one of which exist. Can you guess which one? I knew I should have brought my headphones inside.

I left Portland yesterday afternoon and headed to Astoria, OR. From there I went up the coast, ending up in Pacific Beach State Park, in Washington. Although the good (and expensive) camp sites were occupied, I took an adequate spot where I could still hear the ocean. I managed to sleep for almost 9 hours...in a tent...for the first time ever camping alone.

This morning was rad, I cooked up some oatmeal, and made some tea on my (Matt's) camping stove. Felt like a real live camper! Then took a walk down to the beach and began exploring, taking pictures, playing in the rain and in the ocean. Now I am waiting for the rain to pass, catching up on things and watching people. This place is filled with tourists, many children, most ridiculously annoying.

Yesterday I started talking to myself, not uncommon during solo journeys. Today, however, I started talking to myself in Spanish. I'm not sure where that came from but just going to roll with it for now.

Hoping to keep up with writing as much as possible.
