Oregon Coast - AGAIN! 4.2010
I heard the weather was gonna be fine fine fine! So I hopped the Wave Bus to the Oregon Coast with my Bike on Friday night with plans to stay with Kate. Halley the Harper a bike friend from Portland also was playing a concert in Manzanita which was fun way to start Friday evening at the coast - this was followed by Kate & I singing the Love Boat theme song at the Lighthouse Karaoke Night. Wow - did we stun the crowd with that one! The next day Kate and I had a fantastic breakfast at Wanda's in Nehalem -- very retro & fun cafe. I then set off on a solo bike adventure down 101 - stopping along the way whenever I fancied. I had one of the best days EVER! I did a lot of thrifting/antique malls -- not a lot of buying, sat on the beach in Rockaway and decided to get married to the Oregon Coast, I happened upon an entire deer skeleton on the side of the road, spied on Kate's coworkers at the Wheeler Pharmacy, got tacos at a cute taco stand with lots of lawn flamingos, investigated a sometimes train/logging museum, amused myself by all the highrise beach houses, and couldn't get a photo of any Blue Herons, since they are super shy and fly away. The Girabaldi Museum is closed until May..but I did sneak into the People's Museum of Art after hours to see the Dorthea Lange show while people potlucked on raw food in the other room. In Tillamook I spent a long time in Safeway waiting for Kate to finish up with a dinner meeting so I could catch a lift with her. While there I investigated pop culture magazines and flirted with the deli guy. On Sunday we slept in and and had breakfast with the cat. Then went on a bike adventure to Manzanita where I could spy on a new shop carrying Red Bat Press cards. I ran into Izara from Portland, we walked on the windy beach, then took back roads to Nehalem State Park -- I'm so going to camp there - bike trails, hiker biker, beautiful! Kate dropped me back off in Tillamook just in time for the 4pm Sunday bus back Tillamook!
