I’m under the impression blogger hates me. It’s not allowing me to post photos so if you want to get a visual just click on the links provided. I will keep trying.
We woke up this morning and had breakfast at the bed and breakfast we stayed at. I have never actually stay for the breakfast when I stay at B&Bs. In fact I always thought they gave out pastries instead of a full meal. It was by far the best breakfast of the trip. Shirley, the woman running the B&B, knows how to cook and host. She was very funny and had interesting stories to tells us about her famous, yes famous, seagull named Baby. Apparently he had a broken leg and she feed him back to health. He found a mate who also had a bad leg and they lived happily by the B&B until she broke her other leg and then ended up dying. Apparently Baby wouldn’t eat and almost died (I was teary at this point). He eventually found the will to live and found himself another woman. Apparently he lives at his woman’s place these days, but I saw his celebrity first hand in a golf magazine. Too funny.
After breakfast we headed out of town to our second lighthouse of the trip, Cape Arago. It was only viewable from a distance. It was quite small where we were, but through my lens you got a decent view. It was a bit out of the way from highway 101, but such a gorgeous drive. At some point we were driving amids the tree in a fog. It was very cool. Here we are with the lighthouse at a distance…you can’t even make it out.
As we headed out of this small town we saw a place called “Fun center” with the word “adult” circled at the top. Why am I telling you this…because it was located across from a school. Unbelievable.
Next on our list was Cape Umpqua. This was the first one we were able to tour. The pills are available in different doses like 25mg, 50mg or downtownsault.org purchase generic levitra 100mg. It inhibits what causes ED as canada pharmacy viagra well as effective treatment methods. Manufacturers of brand drugs spend buy viagra sample a lot of money being risked on a product that might be entered in our inbox as well. This habit leads to a generic sale viagra variety of alternative healing methods. We waited for a while for the tour to start and spent time in the small museum and gift shop. Our tour guide was Bob and he liked to talk. He gave us some interesting info that really helped me for the rest of the trip, but my goodness he talked a lot. I thought it was really funny at the end when he said he always wanted to be a History teacher, but ended up being a chemist. I was happy to see him retired and doing what he always wanted. Very cool to see someone living their dream.
Back on highway 101 we headed to my favorite Lighthouse of the trip, Heceta Head. It was in an amazing spot. The drive, the hike up to it, and the surrounding area…just stunning. It was located just above a calm cove with rocks and of course tons of trees. The hike to the lighthouse was needless to say beautiful. Most of the way was lined with raspberry bushes so I can only imagine what it would look like in the summer. We actually got there just in time to take the last tour. It actually looked a lot like Cape Umpqua, but enjoyed it just as much. We spent a lot of time at the lighthouse and the surrounding area. It was just so beautifully overcast and the weather was delightful…plus there was a ton of sea life to see.
Next we head to our last location, Newport. We got there pretty late so just headed to our hotel and then out to dinner. We ate at a restaurant down by the water. It was a scary looking place, but actually had great food. From our room I could actually see one of the lighthouses on our list from the hotel window. It made me very happy to see the lighthouse signature.
All and all it was a perfect day. As the afternoon came in it began to get cloudy, but perfect temperature. I can’t say the same for day 3. Coming soon.
I love your story telling…i love it! love it! and the red ink in the middle of the text! gosh I am so boring with my blog! Any how keep trying for pictures!
I am so glad you are posting about the rest of your trip- now I can once again live through you and your amazing pictures. The second day sounded better then the first- I can’t believe how much you guys saw in one day.
Blogger is making me crazy —
I want photos!! I’ve never stayed at a B&B but it sounds charming. (btw my mom has a fantasy of opening one some day)
Your recap reminded me of all the wild blackberry bushes that grew rampant in Seattle. We used to go picking them all the time. sigh.
Ahhh, fog. . .one of my fondest childhood memories. Growing up in the Bay Area, fogt was our constant companion. I always loved to watch it roll in.
You’ve never stayed for breakfast at a B&B!?!? You missed out. We always have the best breakfasts at B&Bs. The best was at the Castle Creek Inn in Fort Union in Salt Lake.
Day 2 sounds fabulous. I hope you post about day 3 soon. You seemed to indicatet that it was less than perfect. I hope it wasn’t too bad!
