AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Untitled work: Original Bridge Motel
When my son Michiel and I did a road trip along the West Coast of America in 2015, we started in Oregon in the town of Astoria. There we had booked the Bridge Motel, and the name was obvious. The Astoria-Megler Bridge over the Columbia River is 6.6 kilometers long and 60 meters high. Astoria was a small fishing and canning town with dozens of canneries. One of those old factories on stilts had started the Bouy beer brewery. Through the glass you could see the seals on the rocks below the floor, and when we drank a beer there, a raccoon walked about half a meter from you along the edge of the window frame outside your table. (In 2023 the roof collapsed due to a hurricane, but that is beside the point, though I have incorporated it into the piece)
So here is the Motel, the Bridge, and the Buoy.
