Road Trip '08: Day 4

Newport, OR (just hanging out in the area!)
Miles driven today=4 (Mesha drove most of the day)
Total miles driven= 1010

The last time I visited Mesha back in 2006, we crammed quite a bit into my couple of days on the Oregon Coast. We spent most of the time driving up and down the coast, seeing all the sights (other towns, lighthouses, scenic lookouts, etc), but spent little time in Newport itself. So today was my chance to just enjoy Newport at a relaxing pace!

We started our Saturday morning at the local farmers market...


Grabbed a cup of coffee and then stood in line to get some treats from the "bread lady"...


Walked around the farmers market, then... Went back to the bayfront for a bit..


Checked out Nye Beach & had lunch there...


Explored the Sylvia Beach Hotel (A hotel for book lovers, and is the neatest place ever! Each room is a different theme based on an author)...


My favorite was the "JRR Tolkien Room"...


Went to Yaquina Head...


Where the Yaquina Head Lighthouse is...


And at the end of the day, enjoyed a beautiful sunset...
