Fog had cleared overnight.  Mostly cloudy but dry.  Dry is good.  Two years back we got soaked through and through at the Salmon Bake.

Morning walks as usual.  Some new sights for you from my walk.

We drove down to the Salmon Bake  at 11:30.  Long line but it moved fast.  The salmon was delicious and so was the cole slaw.  We split two desserts – brownie with ice cream and marionberry cobbler with ice cream.  As we stood in line I think we were the youngest people there.  Seems as if a couple of buses from senior centers arrived just before us.

After eating we watched the Native American dancers for a bit.  They were up from Arizona.  Pictures and video below.

Then we walked around the harbor before returning to the condo.  I bought a Depoe Bay Coast Guard jacket from the Coast Guard booth at the Salmon Bake.

The afternoon was quiet at home.  Cocktails on a cool balcony.  No sun during cocktails for the first time.  Dinner was bread, cheese, paté, pears, and wine.  We had driven into Newport before the Salmon Bake to get a last delicious sourdough baguette.

It’s Sunday morning now.  The windows were closed last night as it rained most of the night.  Depoe Bay needs the rain.  All of Oregon does.  We should see some sun today with a nice day predicted for Monday when we hit the road.

  1. Gorgeous sunset photo, Elaine. Admin should have added “I was still in bed” in the commentary. Loved your panoramic shot also. Pretty impressed by a salmon bake on that scale. Never seen so much delicious-looking fresh brain food in one place. Also loved the native American dance video, so cool. Tough Patriots loss today . 🏈🏈

  2. Yum! Love the crab pots picture. Though not a particular fan of salmon, we did partake all through Alaska. Did they say they had problems with this year’s crop? Alaska had major problems, they were nowhere. The town folk said they’ve been coming later and later each year.

  3. I always enjoy the pics you take of the salmon bake. It just has to be so good cooked that way! Always like Indian dancers. I don’t blame them wanting to get out of the heat in Arizona. You all have safe travels. Tell Elaine all is good with the family. XO
