It's a foggy and rainy day. We walked into town after the hotel breakfast and mailed a couple of postcards. Next we stopped at the coffee roaster by the bridge and picked up some coffee and a donut which we had out on the back deck overlooking the Siulisi River. On the way out of town i stopped at the used book store and bought the Lewis and Clark book which was $12 and is a semi coffee table book. it got pretty foggy and misty as we stopped at the Heceta Lighthouse. The fog is pretty intense and it was hard to see the lighthouse. We took the guided tour and when we were done the fog lifted a little. I took some pics before we headed North again. The rain picked up again, this time we needed the low speed wipers instead of the mist wipers. We stopped at Waldport where I saw a buy Marijuana sign on a business which I took a picture of for Facebook. We had a nice lunch in a Mexican restaurant after walking the business district evaluating our choices. We each had a Margarita and I ordered a Taco Salad with shredded beef. It included guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, tomatoes and lettuce in a tostada shell. We continued our travels North and arrived at the Best Western only to discover i made a reservation at the non beach front facility. I rented a suite anyway for $250 and then attempted to cancel the other one which is supposed to be non cancellable. The nice lady on the phone when I called the hotel directly canceled my reservation which saved us another $150 that would have been wasted. The suite is beautiful with a full ocean view off the Lanai. We had wine and cheese then walked down the street to Kylleys Seafood which i didn't need because i was so full. I had fish and chips with a bowl of chowder. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir with the meal which was $36. Individual glasses were $12 each so this was the more economical choice. We walked back in the dark which was only about 0.1 miles. We have been monitoring the Northward progress of hurricane Irma as it marches up the coast. It is supposed to hit Florida as a cat 4. I hope the condo hangs tough. Before going to bed I installed a synch program and attempted to download the photos from Libbie's phone. I need to find a better alternative to get her photos.
