Saturday was beautiful until the fog rolled in late afternoon. You could see it coming. The temperature can drop 20 degrees in 10 minutes. We still love it, fog or no fog.
We went to Safeway this morning and filled the larder. Then we had a nice lunch at Mo’s West. Mo’s is an Oregon coast landmark restaurant chain (famous for their chowder) with loads of branches. Mo’s West is at the Otter Crest State Scenic Overlook and is the smallest one. We both had a cup of chowder. Then Elaine had fish tacos; I had seafood saute filled with clams, scallops, shrimp, and oysters. For desert we shared a yummy marionberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Marionberries are Oregon blackberries.
Next door to Mo’s is the Flying Dutchman Winery tasting room and outlet. We bought six bottles of their Pinot Noir to fill the Geoghegan wine cellar to overflowing. We also stopped at the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce to buy our tickets for next Saturday’s 60th Annual Depoe Bay Indian Salmon Bake.
Then it was a quiet afternoon and evening at home. We enjoyed cocktails outside on the balcony. Warm sunshine gave way to cool fog. The whales were active as usual. Elaine prepared a nice lamb pilaf dish for dinner. Tomorrow we head north for the day to Tillamook to stock up on cheese and eat ice cream.
