Cannon Beach, Ecola Creek

 

The Oregon Coast: beautiful to look at, difficult to photograph.

 This is the headland at the north end of Cannon Beach. The water in the foreground is Ecola Creek. We just learned, this last weekend, that Ecola is a Chinook Wawa word for whale.

 I am leaving behind a lot of history that I never properly learned. It wasn't my history, but then what is? so that's no excuse. Resolve to do better in Thailand, which will be a good incentive to learn the language as quickly as I can. I'm already frustrated by the lack of English-language sources around things like the canals of Chiang Mai.
