We continue to enjoy the wonderful weather with temps in the 50s and 60s. We had two long days, yesterday from Aberdeen to Long Beach, WA and today to Tillamook. The southwest corner of Washington is sadly economically depressed and it shows, empty streets and houses everywhere, as the waitress at dinner said "an inhabited ghost town". We finished the day at a beach town called Long Beach, found a B&B and walked on the beautiful sandy beach before sunset and went to a restaurant "The Depot" where we had one of the best dinners so far, Thai calamari, a spinach/blue cheese salad, rockfish with mashed potatoes and organic veggies and flan for dessert.
We entered Oregon over the 4 mile long Astoria bridge which finishes in a pretty steep hill for it's high rise. The coast of Oregon is beautiful and dramatic in some areas, the 101 goes by the water for miles so we were able to appreciate it most of the day. The fog followed us so we had cloudy and cool weather.
Tomorrow we are off to Newport to stay with a friend of Steve's.
