On the Road - Day 10


Woke up and decided to stay another day at the Port of Newport! Wonderful showers! Started out at the Newport Farmers Market. Took lots of pictures and bought a stone decorated birdhouse for our spruce tree. So heavy it won't blow in the wind! Art galleries were inspiring. In the Historic Nye Beach area we discovered a new cheddar cheese at a wine tasting - it has lavender in it. We didn't try any of the wines but we found this particular cheese at a nearby market.

Enjoyed our chat with the owner of a bistro by the ocean - lunch was delicious. Bob told me the special ingredients in his fabulous clam bisque. Equal parts cumin, curry and ginger, plus herbs of Provence and cracked pink peppercorns. Very yummy. He recommended we go to a particular restaurant, Pagliachi, when we get to Victoria, B.C.

Checked out a condo for sale, hung out at the library and used their computer, and saw a lighthouse on our way back to the RV Park. Had fun reviewing my photos ... Picture on right: Hippo dictating to chief blog writer.

Ended where we began! (Port of Newport, OR)
