Day 5

Same day as yesterday. Winds are a bit stronger though and by 5pm it really picked up. Wow, what a nice way to finish our 2 days at the Gorge! Lola keeps saying she wants to learn now. Wow! I need to find a way to teach her!
Windsurfer numbers have been decreasing the past few years and kitesurf has become more and more popular thanks to its several advantages: easier to learn, needs less wind, everything fits in a backpack, etc.
We need to bring more people back to windsurfing!
The picture below is Jeremy dancing by the Columbia River. This was an amazing sight for me. I was still on the water when I saw Jeremy dancing. For me he was simply throwing back the energy of the moment. We had been waiting for the wind to pick up the whole afternoon and when it did several windsurfers went to the water and just had fun. Jeremy felt the happiness and excitement going on so he started to dance. It made me to stay longer on the water!!


Muriel is flying back from Hartford this evening so we get to Portland's airport by 7:30pm to pick her up. Tomorrow we fly to San Diego for Joey's graduation. We've been camping for the past 3 days, this Hilton Suite sure is cozy!
