We had a lovely day off in Newport, OR, staying at the beautiful Hamilton-Salvestrin Condo. Thank you so much Holly and Heather and Family!
We decided to unload a bunch of stuff and leave Peter's trailer. We'll bum a relay ride for it or go back ourselves later this summer...heh heh...
We have paniers on Peter's bike and he is so much happier!
Newport and Nye Beach are great for photography, running on the sand and tide-pool exploring. It was a gorgeous 86 degrees when we arrived wed night. People were playing in the surf. I saw a whale spouting at the Cape Foulweather lighthouse lookout.
A cyclist named Jonathan, who was driving by stopped us on the road to ask about our gear and chatted awhile. He invited us to his restaurant The Deep End Cafe. We went on Thursday night and had a wonderful dinner and he bought us wine! We felt like celebrities!
So far the finances are holding out, our bodies old but serviceable, and the bikes are good. Gravity is constant and we are planning for more rain.
Onward!
Sounds incredible! So you pared down on the gear... How has that been?
