Wall Art in Newport - Surf FishingNewport 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.
