This morning Rick made us waffles for breakfast so we were well fortified for a day of travel. It was great to be with our friends again and Mr Ripley enjoyed being with Snickers. We really loved Portland and can't wait to return.
We headed south to Eugene OR. We had both heard good things about the city and wanted to check it out. We went to a cool place on 5th which is a collection of food places and some other shops. They all sort of blend together in this very neat atmosphere. We had lunch at Marche Provisions which has all sorts of foods available. We drove around Eugene a bit more and then headed toward the coast.
The drive was pleasant. Our first coastal town was Florence OR which has a cute little "old town" area. We stopped at the visitors' center to get a map of the coast and chatted a bit with a nice lady in there. We drove along the coast and stopped a couple of times to see some sights before stopping for the day in Bandon OR. Bandon is a pretty little seaside town with a nice harbor and some beautiful coastal frontage. We're staying at the Bandon Inn (original name) which is up on a hill overlooking the water. We actually have a room with a good view! Dwyne and I laugh that we always end up with views of parking lots so we are very pleased with this. We had a pretty decent dinner at the Wheelhouse Restaurant which is right by the harbor.
We'll continue down the coast tomorrow for our next to the last day of travel.
