The day the relay began, I drove Dad to West Linn where he joined up with his team. Then Hannah and I drove up the coast to Gearhart - which is next to Seaside - which is where the race ended on Saturday. We have great friends in Gearhart and we enjoyed spending some time with them.
Here's another "dos Hannahs" shot - Nebekers have a Hannah too!

And Israel came to visit also - shown here with his dad.
This is the Norwegian bed - used to belong to Ry's mom - Hannah and I spent a restful night sleeping in it!
Hannah positively loved their cat Minow - they kept offering to give him to her!
Sarah and Ry prepared us a tasty dinner, breakfast and lunch - some of it from their beautiful garden!
This is the house next door - that they bought a few years ago but haven't done much with it yet.
In addition to tasty things to eat, Sarah grows beautiful flowers! There were sumptuous bouquets of hydrangea and sweet pea throughout the house.
Saturday morning we took a walk along the beach - and Hannah found two nearly perfect sand dollars.
This is their charming cottage.
More shots of Minow.
Guess Hannah was behind us with her camera!
This is looking towards Tilamook, I think. The beach was certainly not like SoCal beaches, but beautiful anyway!! (I guess we SoCal natives sometimes think the only beach is the southern beach!)
Ry prepared a great Norwegian breakfast - and I even ate brown goat cheese - that was quite tasty!
Sarah drove us around the area a bit and I took down phone numbers of vacation rental homes - we may just have to take a vacation there!

i want a cat
The bed reminds me of Carl Larsson's bed. I love it. It is so scandanavian.
Ry's mother had a Norwegian craftsman make it for her. When you are lying in it, there's a painting of the angel Gabriel that you look up at.
You had to use a stool to climb onto it too.
