Its monday night 11:00 just got back from a walk on the beach. Were In Depot Bay, Or. Had a good day yesterday and today. Went to the company picnic for the place I worked when I lived in Portland. It was cool, got to see a lot of people I havent seen or talked to in two years.
We drove to the coast today in a rented charger. Stopped at a weird little pirate themed shopping center and grabbed some wooden boobies!(see picture please). Then went to the Oregon Coast aquarium. Took one picture so Kristen could rest assured that they are working hard to replace the rockfish she ate last night.
Then we had dinner at an awesome place overlooking the coast. Got back to the hotel around 9:00.
Its about a block and a half to the beach access, which was a staircase 80 steps long. The beach was beautiful, unfortunately the line of hotels along the top put an obnoxious amount of artificial light out on the beach. I tried to walk until I got out of the light, but I knew I had those 80 steps to go back up to get back to my room. I did enjoy gettin out by the water though. The ocean always puts me in my place. Its an amazing force thats been there longer than any humans and will be there longer. What ever made people decide to just sail out into something that they had no idea how big it was, or what was on the other side?
Anyway, Im gettin tired and ramblin. We should know tomorrow about the car and when the official start of the journey is. Im going to go to sleep now and try to get up early and go to the beach again. P.S. I really did take all these pictures myself, some of them look like postcards, huh? more tomorrow B.
