The visit to the Wallingers was way to short, but we continued the trip towards Oregon's cost. We took Route 26 to Cannon Beach where pelicans, seagulls and a beautiful beach with rock formations in the water awaited us for a long stroll.
We watched the sunset at Silverpoint, walked the Short Sands Trail the next morning, visited Manzanita beach, stopped at shops in Rockaway Beach and drove to Lincoln City for some Outlet shopping (60% North Face sales, whoop whoop).
The stop at Robert's booksop was quirlte the highlight: it had the biggest selection of used books I've seen. It seemed as if each bit of the building was filled with shelves, all cramped with books in any genre you could think of. I bought a Mary Higgins Clark and a Jojo Moyes.
Further stops along the coast:
... Cape Meares Lighthouse and Octopus Tree
... Cape Perpetua with its wild waters
... Siltcoos beach, miles of sand for just the two of us, seals which popped their heads in and out of the water like boyes like boyes
... Oregon Dunes
The pure rough coast is simply a delight!
