Sunday – A Day of Rest (Blog Post #501)

God so decreed it. So I didn’t walk. Elaine did. It was a clear morning, no fog, so we decided to visit a couple of favorite spots.

Cape Foulweather was named by Captain Cook way back when. Today it was fair weather. Pictures tell it all. Oh! We learned from a ranger in the visitor center that lots of kelp in the ocean is a good thing.

Just down the road from Cape Foulweather is the Devil’s Punchbowl, another favorite spot. Lots of surfers on the beach just beyond the cliff. Again, pictures tell all. I took a pretty good selfie too. On the access road there is a house with a huge selection of lobster buoys or floats. Worth a pic or two.

On the way home we stopped in Depoe Bay to try that new Fish and Chips restaurant. It was empty, but we tried it and it was good! Lots of selections for the fish – I had halibut, Elaine had ling cod. Fries were good. Cole slaw was excellent. I hope they make it.

The rest of the afternoon was at home watching football. Elaine made a meatloaf for dinner. The surf was up as we watched on the balcony.

Great sunset again. Picture tomorrow (if I remember).. Bad Patriot outcome. Bad Cardinal outcome. Oh, well. Peace!

  1. Wow, blog #501. And I loved them all.

    Stunning ocean vistas along the rocky Oregon coast. That sure is quite a collection of lobster buoys.

    I love the pic with the rushing water and the cormorants on the rocks. One of the rocks off of Wallis Sands always has a flock of them hanging around.

    Yup, it’s going to be a long football season in New England. Terrible game by the Patriots.

  2. We both made meatloaf for games! What a great place you chose – pics are so lovely – wish we were there – fall is showing up all over!! Love to you both!!

  3. Love the ocean pics and the sound of the waves. Such a beautiful area and great looking fish and chips (one of my favorites). Stay well, Love Cindy
