The weather did not clear up today like it did yesterday, even now it is still raining. But we are at the beach, so it is all good.
A new mini fig to help with the wait for breakfast. Lon has decided the only breakfast food worth eating is pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes. No other kind. Nothing other than butter and maple syrup. And only real maple syrup. Don't even try to pass off imitation on him. It just won't work.
After our breakfast, we gave the gulls a breakfast!
Rodea Point. Nice. Just a drive for the morning, hoping that it will clear up for the afternoon!
Cape Foulweather from Otter Drive.
I think that black dot is a whale, but I am not sure. They said there was a mother whale and a baby going slowly up the coast. Most of the whales have already passed through on their way north. The Moms and babies are taking their time.
Goofing off at Cape Foulweather. Lon knew his Dad would not throw him over.
We kept going south to see if we could find the sun. We went up to the Cape Perpetua day use trail heads. It was very pretty up there. The boys walked down to a hut that they used to spot submarines in World War II. Me, I stayed and took some nice photos. The knee is not yet better.
Reading about what they are seeing.
The trails. I think I would like to try them next time we come down. The views are amazing!
Pretty.
We left there and headed back north. We had lunch at the Grand Central in Waldport. We all got pizza slices. Then we saw the signs for the Waldport wednesday market. We thought we would give it a try. There were some nice booths there. Lots of beading people. Someone who was selling Japanese fishing floats they found up in the Bering sea. We got a little one. She did not have any big ones. There was one bakery there. If you are ever in Waldport go to Voltas. (I am pretty sure that was the name, if not it is close) She is an incredible baker! I had a cashew tartlet, so buttery, so wonderful.! Wish I would have gotten three!
Depoe Bay. Looking for those whales. We went into the Whale watching station, which they are remodeling, and that is where I learned about the Mom and baby that were meandering up the coast, close to shore.
A seal in the harbor!
Which is what Mark was filming. The seal was following a fisherman who had a bucket of bait. The seal's thoughts were clear. DROP THE BUCKET. DROP IT! NOW! DROP IT! but the fisherman did not and the seal went under the dock to pout.
We walked around Depoe Bay for a bit, bought a cashew turtle for Lon and I. We both love them. Then we went back to Lincoln City, to walk around in the rain there. These little glass thingys were in the sidewalk all up and down the street. We stopped in at Glass Confusion and Lon got me my birthday present. Which Dad will wrap up for me later. I would tell you but that would ruin the surprise.
The scenes are different in every plaque. This one is Pirates! ARG! It was still raining, so we had another jacuzzi in the room, a dinner at Mist (the hotel restaurant) and had an early night. We hope tomorrow will not be rainy. But a rainy day at the beach is still a darn fine day!
