The Pilot House

We drove to Astoria on the coast today, despite the warnings of approaching storm. And stormy it was; the wind blew the rain sideways. It was almost impossible to even open a window for a blip, let alone venture outside for one. So, us poor souls, had to spend our time having cozy coffee stops and such. This is from our happy hour dinner stop, a restaurant right across from the river- and bar pilots house. It's one of my favorite places in Astoria, to watch as they come and go with their pilot boat to the big ships passing by on the Columbia river.
