We drove from Medford to Newport today crossing the coastal range on a suprising good state highway likely kept in good condition for the logging companies. Up through the coastal towns but it's pouring constantly. Whose idea was it to take a vacation through Oregon in March? Some dramatic views of beaches and wind and cold, I'll see when I get home.
We have an odd view of Newport, staying right near Nye Beach (where it's raining sideways) in a family owned two unit B&B in a turreted old building with an established bakery/coffee shop for the breakfast. Except the bakery is being remodeled. But there's a very chummy fine restaurant next door. You can't tell though, no sign, just a downstairs part of a house with mud out front. But, it's the kind of place where they know everybody, including now, you.
Actually everything on the Oregon coast is empty today. A Monday in March in the pouring rain. No tourists around except us!!
Picture shows the b&b. We slept in the upper floor of the turret, Dennis LOVED that. That extremely local restaurant is in the house on the left. You would never know that it was a fine restaurant. Like the idea of the Third Place, not really public, not really private. Good food and very intimate. Windswept Nye Beach is one block behind me, the photographer.
