You said — “ And he takes her to that rock this time of year? My husband’s family has a beach cabin on the Puget Sound, and we don’t go there in the winter, because it’s a different place than in the summer.”
He takes her there at that time, because that’s when she traveled to the United States. She was here on a visa and was here (as a result) for a limited time. She probably traveled here during a cheaper time of the year to travel from the Philippines.
And so, there would be nothing unusual about taking someone there *at the time* that they happened to be here on a trip.
As far as going to the Oregon Coast during the winter..., well that’s a great time to go to the beach to see the storms come in. Many people do like to see the raging and stormy seas. I like to see it when it’s storming and raging, too.
It’s not the kind of trip that you are on the beach, in your skimpy swimming outfit and sunning yourself and having a nice time in the sand... LOL...
Come to think about it, you never go to the Oregon Coast — at *any time of the year* without bringing your coat and gloves. It doesn’t matter if it’s 105 inland, you can freeze at the Oregon Coast. Those nice and sunny days with really warm weather is rare. More times than not, you’ll be wearing your heavy coat at the coast...
So, no...., if you’re thinking “Galveston” or something like that — you’ve got the wrong idea. If you think — “bring your heavy coat and be prepared for cold winds and wearing gloves” — then you’ve got the right idea...
But, that’s exactly the kind of Oregon Coast visitor that you’re going to get in the winter and they do have them there, too.
I have never been to Galveston, but I have been to the Oregon coast more than once, and the California and Washington coasts more times than I can count. I am not sure why you are obsessed with this guy's innocence. I don't know if he did anything, but he is acting funny. Just because we all know accidents happen at the coast doesn't mean that sometimes it *might* not be an accident.
When we were at the Grand Canyon last summer, we witnessed a man fall to his death (an accident.) This happens multiple times a year. However, every once in awhile, a "Grand Canyon Divorce" happens, and it's not quite an accident...
