Hi All,We are in Newport, Oregon. We left McMinnville and the wonderful wine country on Friday 8/24 and drove over here to the coast.
This is a cute fishing and crabbing village here on the coast. We are staying at the Newport Marina and RV resort.
We are right on the water overlooking many fishing and pleasure boats. Yesterday we went to the local farmers market and got some more fresh fruit! The berries are in season and are wonderful! We then walked around the old historic district, watched them bring in some crab and also saw the seals that make the water front their home.
We then went to the local light house. It is the only light house left here in Oregon that had the living quarters and the lighthouse all in the same building. It was going to be
torn down in 1946, but the local town people got together and saved it from demolition.
They had to do a great deal of renovation and it is beautiful today.We are going to drive over to the town of Toledo as there is a wooden boat show over there this afternoon.
This morning there was some fog but it has lifted and it is a beautiful day today, we have really been lucky with the weather since we left home.
At night you can hear the seals barking, but with all the fresh air and walking that we do, we fall right to sleep and they do not bother us at all.
I hope all is well with everyone, keep in touch! Our e-mail is up and running but the WiFi signal here is very, very low so we sometimes have trouble getting things but it finds us eventually.
Our love to all.. miss you,
Candy and Johnny
