Today was our shortest travel day so far, but it was our most beautiful as well. I haven’t spent a lot of time in southern Oregon, so I’m guessing at the names of some of the things I pictured below. If anyone can correct me, let me know!

A beautiful funeral
Today was the day for Phung’s (pronounced Foam) funeral. She had asked everyone to dress as though they were going to a wedding, and the funeral itself was beautiful. Even the weather turned out to be lovely though cold.

I was driving myself to church this morning and I passed through Bailey’s Harbor where they have a Sunday Farmers’ Market.

Today I had a couple places I wanted to see, but we actually got more in than I had expected. I had seen in the local paper that there’s a Mahjongg group at the YMCA in Fish Creek. I have played the game on the computer so I wanted to see it in real life. Continue reading
