Yesterday morning we awakened to grey drizzle that lasted all day as we drove down Rt 101 along the Wa coast through Olympic National Park.  We saw a couple of signs for Rain Forests but decided to go there since we were already driving through forests in the rain.  We spent the night  just south of Pacific Beach, WA at a wonderful motel right on the beach called the Sandpiper.   The drizzle let up about 8:00 PM and I went for a walk along the beach hoping to find agate or other treasures.  I found lots of razor clam shells, seaweed and the shells of crabs and a few broken sand dollars.  No exciting finds and nothing to bring home, but a nice walk anyway.  There are lots more beaches to explore between here and southern CA!

This morning it is bright and sunny and should be a beautiful drive down the coast.  We'll be stopping in South Bend, WA this evening.
