FLORENCE

Nope, I don’t think we aren’t in Italy. Kind of wish we were as it’s really chilly here tonight. Our day today was sunny and warm, almost 70 degrees. It’s been so cold and rainy under the pine trees that the sun this morning was a welcome pleasure. 

Our site here is in H loop and we are at number 393. I want to record this so when we come here again we can request the same site. There is a trail to the sand dunes right next to our site and we have big backyard behind our coach with shrubs and wild blackberries. Kathe went foraging for berries this afternoon and made a blackberry cobbler for dessert tonight.

This morning my humans had a little catching up to do as we didn’t have full hookups at Fort Stevens. No sewer, meant days of short showers for the humans and lots of dirty clothes that now need washing. When the chores were done, there was a trip to the hardware store for a part to fix a broken cabinet brace. After that, the humans could explore the town of Florence.

There’s an “old town” with lots of shops for the tourists. The summer season might be over, but there were lots of people out enjoying the sunshine and shopping. My humans must have had a good time as they brought home lots of bags and boxes.

Tonight, I accidentally walked into a giant blackberry vine and got twisted up. That didn’t feel so great. Kathe was able to unwind the brambles and set me free, I think she got more scratches than I did. I won’t do that again if I can help it.
