The good weather continues. Bright sunny skies. High expected to be 69. On the balcony in the morning we wear long pants and polar fleece jackets. The sun doesn’t hit the balcony until afternoon. Then, even in the high 60’s (as long as the sun is out), it is like a heat dome. We face west, so the sun is right in front of us all afternoon. When it shines off the ocean and with the balcony protected from the wind, 67º feels more like 97º. But a good 97º!
We take separate walks in the morning, usually into town and back to the condo. It’s about a mile to the bridge in town, so it’s a two-mile walk. No hills. On my walk this morning I took some pictures of the sign around Pete’s Dispensary, one of the three marijuana stores in Depoe Bay. $40/ounce. Is that good? Anyway, their sign has painted rocks all around it. Interesting.
Some pictures from the rest of my walk. The last picture in the gallery is downtown Depoe Bay – three blocks long, everything on one side. The ocean is on the other.
Could we live here? Maybe. Property prices don’t seem too bad. (Tim can review!) There are two units available in the condo complex where we stay.
If you can’t find it at Only in Oregon, go next door to Only in Depoe Bay.
On the walk home:
The day was spent relaxing at home, enjoying the sun, and watching the ocean. Zurf was up. Dinner was home-made ravioli casserole and salad. The cable tv was out, so no tv. Early to bed. (PS: the cable was working again in the morning.)
Need to visit someday!
I think I could live there…have fun
Barb and I have discussed leaving Phoenix – the heat, the crowds, the lack of infrastructure, and the politics…. But we don’t know where we’d move to! Oregon is appealing, for sure – for many reasons. In the end, I don’t think I have the energy required to sell, pack up, and start over.
Always something new to see on your walks Joe. Who needs TV when you have the beautiful view of the ocean and sunset. Take care.
That’s some pretty mean winter weather up there, not sure I could live there, However as I told Kris, had we been younger, we could live in Ireland.
Ditto
Always love the pictures from one of your walk-abouts and it’s great that you’re having such nice weather.
Wow, maybe an upcoming move to Depoe Bay!
I agree with Cindy, as always. Who needs TV with those fabulous ocean views.
Time to downsize and move to the NW coast? I agree with that last rock – it’s better at the beach.
Always a relaxing place especially for seafood lovers! Enjoy and say hi to the surf for us!
Looks like a really neat place—idyllic, small, safe, secluded, appealing to the senses. Can see it’s a Geoghegan-worthy return vacation spot, maybe a forever home!
