We awoke Thursday to fog and clouds, but by 10:30 AM it had totally cleared. It’s just a short trip south to Yaquina Head Outstanding Scenic Area in Newport, and that’s what where we went for the day complete with picnic lunch. This area is administered by the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management. They have a great interpretive center, but we’ve done that, so we just enjoyed the scenery. Pictures, of course, will tell the story. They also have tide pools where you can view sea life at low tide. We plan on coming back tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM when the tide is out.
There were a dozen of more whales frolicking close to the observation platforms, sort of like what we see daily on our balcony. We had a nice picnic and hung around watching the whales. Then it was home for a quiet afternoon of reading, napping, and cocktailing. The weather for cocktails was perfect. We didn’t need the polar fleece and blankets. Rather we were in shorts enjoying the sunshine.
For dinner we walked into town and ate at Bay View Thai Cuisine. The food was good. Then we walked home (it seems longer going back than it does walking into town).
“Two bight lights.” Ha Ha Ha Ha! You can be quite funny, Joe. 😜
Views are spectacular.
