Newport
to Newport - 0 miles! (well, a few miles around town). We visited the Rogues
Brewery Co., and sampled a small amount of their products. Seems wonderful
- Chocolate Stout, etc, etc. The Yaquina Head lighthouse is very impressive
- and we've been in the Yaquina Bay lighthouse - beautifully restored. I'm
now in the public library at Newport, where my time at the computer is about
to run out! Sadly no photos can be uploaded from this library... nor does
the Kodak CD onto which I thought I was managing to put my photos seem to
have any of the photos I've taken! We also had a wander around the Harbour
area of Newport - which is a bit like Whitby in England. The most impressive
thing about the area are the large paintings on the walls of the buildings
- see the photo of a wave surfing fishing boat! More chinese food in the
evening, as the rain set in heavily again. We're having our first day off
since leaving Washington, DC, 67 days ago. But we'll be on the road again
very soon - if only to complete the route to the Astoria and then on to
Seattle. |
