Bandon, Oregon

This place is beautiful!Windermere
It looks right over a deserted beach. We are in deluxe room because we saw it and did not check out that the regular room was $10 cheaper. But this one has a fireplace. And I bought a microbrew beer on our way, which is chilling right now as I write this.
We stayed in Lincoln City last night, in the D Sands Motel. It was right on the ocean too.
On our way through Depoe Bay, we stopped and walked around a little, Richard said, 'hey, doesn't that like look like Kirk and Sue?' I froze and ducked. Luckily it wasn't. Richard thought that was pretty funny.
we were thinking of staying in Florence today, but went through and thought it would be much better to stay on ocean instead of on highway. Strange yes?
And kept driving as nothing else looked like what we wanted. Richard thought Bandon would have promise and he was right!
We stopped in Newport and walked in the Old Town and had a snack and saw a bunch of sea lions sunning themselves on the dock. I bought a pair of lady bug socks, along with the beer.
Some thoughts on Oregon:
Little drive through coffee wagons everywhere, rather than a Starbucks on every corner.
People here drive slower than in BC. We keep passing everyone. (Richard qualifies this, 'Lisa, keeps passing everyone. Everyone else drives the same speed as me')
Seathrift grows here in the wild!
People here do a lot of blown glass. It is for sale everywhere, along with carved bears.

I love staying right on the beach there is something so soothing about the sound and sight of the waves.
