Winter Coast

Stephanie and Amy returned from Africa this past year and we met up in Oregon, because in this small world of ours, Amy and her family are from Corvallis. It was so good to see them and hear about their stories from Africa... these two made and will continue to make a difference in Tanzania. After filling ourselves with fried fish and clam chowder we strolled along a "secret" beach that Amy had been to growing up. Oddly, every 200 yards or so we came across a dead something or another. The coolest was the "giant" sea lion that had died on shore... well it was neat to see how they were put together :) After a coffee break we headed to the Hatfield science center where we watched an epic film shot in 1982 about sharks!! Lets just say we have advanced somewhat over the years in our underwater filming technology. Exhausted from all the learning we made the winding drive home and filled our bellys with green chili enchiladas. It was so good to see them and I do hope they come back soon!
