Taking It Easy

We arrived at our condo in Depoe Bay late Wednesday afternoon.  It was drizzly and gray that evening and the following morning but it's been nice and sunny since.  Our condo is beautiful, probably nicer than the one we stayed in during our last two visits here.  The ocean views are fantastic.  However, unlike our other visits, the whales seem to be staying away this time.

Yesterday, we drove to Newport, about 15 miles down the coast  We went down to the waterfront to pick up some fresh fish (salmon is on the menu tonight).  We also stopped at Mo's for clam chowder.  Mo's is supposed to be THE place to go for clam chowder, but frankly, we didn't think it was that good.

 

We've been doing a lot of walking.  We walk to downtown Depoe Bay a couple of times a day.  It's just a quiet small town -- that's part of downtown in the photo -- but that's what we like about it.  It's not nearly as "touristy" as Lincoln City, which is about ten miles up the coast.  We also drive to Beverly Beach each day to walk on the sand. 

Tomorrow night, we have tickets to see Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City.
