We saw this rather interesting roadside attraction Marsh’s Free Museum and gift shop home of Jake the alligator man.
Marsh’s Free Museum. Cool I like museums…
A few guns and stuff on the walls.
Sorry guys, best I could do. Here is Jake the Alligator Man LIVE… Or rather dead. You know what I mean. Sorry about the flash flare, could not be helped. After 7 tries this one was the best.
A bunch of stuff outside the Free Museum…

Then we happened on the World Kite Museum. Some other sites in Longbeach and on the beach.
Now we are at the World Kite Museum and this is a Barrage Kite, it protects U.S. Convoys and British Destroyers. How cool is that for a bit of kite…
Look at al the kites… And all the space for more. Cool.
This is a frog kite. A good one for Kareena…
This is a target kite. This kite has a rudder and can be steered. Saw a video of this in action it was pretty cool. The bundle on the floor actually hooked on to a guy with a harness and he flew the thing around about 250 yards out. At that distance the target simulated the size of a real plane.

Then on to the North Head Lighthouse followed up by a marvelous sunset on the beach.
The object of our grand quest.
On our way out to the lighthouse.
The trail approaching the light house.
Sunset on the ocean. How cool can you get. It is actually darn cold out.

Finally a great dinner at the Shoalwater of A Cranberry and Walnut Salad and a marvelous Vegetarian French Onion soup followed by an order of Bread Pudding for me that was to die for. Then we had a little entertainment reading this letter in response the Washington Department of Agriculture about the rearing and consumption of snails, hilarity ensued.
This is a funny letter in response to a letter from the Washington State Department of Agriculture. It is a very funny read. If this doesn’t work I will transcribe it later. We ate here for dinner and they had an amazing vegatarian french onion soup.
