Driving in the Pacific Coast Range in NW Oregon during Elk hunting season. We are trying to stay clear of the Elk hunters. If you're watching this then we were successful.

Have you ever witnessed a honey bee swarm? I was in my back yard when I noticed an overabundance of bees flying around. I quickly retreated to my house as I am not overly fond of bees. I watched from inside and noticed they were all going to the same spot so of course I had to go investigate! I guess they were just taking a breather in their journey, as they landed here for a few hours and then were on their way again.

We drove around the touristy area of Playa Norte. The ferry from Cancun drops you off in this area. There is a lot of shopping and restaurants in this area including the best beach on the island. Some people say this beach is the best one in the world. It's nice but I haven't seen all the beaches in the world, yet, so I couldn't agree with this statement. The shop owners are pretty clever trying to get you in their store. Some say "free parking here", it's actually free everywhere, "I remember you from the hotel", "free tequila" which is free while you shop.
