We took a guided tour of the
city of Astoria including homes and history. The Astoria Column, which is 125 ft high, remembers
some of the important events in Astoria’s history and was designed as a tourist
attraction.
Then we visited CapeDisappointment and had a good tour of exhibits covering its history and why the
Columbia River is the most dangerous river entrance in the world. There are
also numerous YouTube videos showing how dangerous it is.
We then returned to Astoria
for a picnic lunch near the bridge and at the maritime memorial.

Boy you have some beautiful pictures of Astoria. Love the gorgeous houses and the deer just walking around in the neighborhood. The tower is really unique and artistic. Of course I love light houses and your picture at Cape Disappointment is very nice. Not sure how such a beautiful place could be called a disappointment. Although maybe your pictures told. My internet connection isn't good enough to click and make them bigger. Nice shot of the eagle.
