We started our day at Aunt Dorane’s house for breakfast burritos, fruit, and juice. This is the view from our breakfast table.
The Fisher sisters examining the contents of a Postum jar filled with nostalgia from Chile.
Aunt Dorane holds a photo of my grandmother, and my mom holds a photo of my grandfather.
The Columbia River Packers Association cannery building in Astoria, Oregon.
Wandering the cannery museum. Initially, workers created the cans by hand, filled the cans with salmon, and then hand-soldered on the lids.
North Head Lighthouse.
Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of beach.

The Columbia River Bar, where ships go to sink. (Around 2,000 of them since humanity started trying to sail ships through there.) It’s so dangerous that bar pilots come aboard to do the driving.
