Onward to my next stop, Portland. I took the coast for a bit. I would have loved to go up to Astoria and see the Goonies house, but that will have to wait until next time..

| Florence, OR~ Hecata Head lighthouse and seals~middle right of frame. There were tons and I could hear them barking all the way from the cliff! |

I arrived at my next stop and was welcomed by the sweetest host, Sharon. She moved up ten years ago from Silver Lake. She knows all the cool places and was a kick! I was really curious about what she did in the past, but she was kinda vague and it intrigued me even more. She invited me out to dinner on Alberta Street and we had a bit of a Mr. Toad's wild ride there.. ;/ She had a beautiful home and I slept so happily on a tempurpedic mattress which I've always wanted to try.
