First off, here are a couple of pictures of the Sundial Bridge in Redding, CA taken at night after dinner. I forgot to include them in the last post.
Friday’s drive into Depoe Bay had a couple of planned stops. I wanted to get some good Oregon Pinot Noir and I thought Costcos in Oregon did not carry liquor. So I had scouted a wine store in Eugene, OR that we would stop at before stopping at a Costco for some other things. Lo and behold, Bo’s Wine Market is closed for 1½ hours each YEAR while supporting a hunger drive. We got there just as they closed! No wine for us.
So it was to Costco on the other side of Eugene. Egads, they sell wine! It’s just hard liquor that they cannot sell. So we loaded up with Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and also had Costco pizza for lunch.
We rolled into our Depoe Bay condo on schedule at around 4 PM. It looks the same and we enjoyed cocktails on the balcony under partly cloudy skies.
On Saturday we drove early into Newport (12 miles) for the weekly farmer’s market. There is a woman there who makes and sells delicious French bread. Elaine loaded up with fresh vegetables and free range eggs. After going back to unload the car, we walked into town for the 63rd Annual Depoe Bay Salmon Bake. We enjoyed the delicious salmon baked over a live fire, served with cole slaw and grilled bread. We had Tillamook ice cream cones in town for desert. Dinner at home will consist of bread, cheese, and corn on the cob – eclectic but delicious.
It was another beautiful day on the balcony for cocktail hour. The temperature was 69 degrees, but the balcony is a heat trap with the afternoon sun shining off the ocean directly in your face as the balcony faces west. It’s almost too hot to sit there. But the cocktails are great and the whales are out there playing. We see too many to count.
Looks as beautiful as always. Glad you are there safely and thank goodness you got the wine! Know how much you guys like the salmon bake. You got there in time, as planned of course. Have fun…..Cindy
Beautiful. Thank the heavens — Costco’s sells wine.
Are those chairs on the balcony the ones you had sent from Amazon a year or so ago?
Enjoy.
Now you need to buy a Costco umbrella for that deck!!😇😇
lovely weather for sure, we got home last night, kitties glad to see us, though they love their Auntie Tricia. We waved to you as we left Seattle last night at about 6pm. it was clear until the Columbia River, then pilot turned eastward and all clouds socked away the ground below, could only see the top of Mt Hood!
Enjoy!! You might get real NFL TV games up there!!
