Day 18 -- Portland and the Oregon Coast

Left Seattle pretty early. I was able to connect with my niece, Alex, in Portland but not without serving my time getting lost. We had a nice, but short, time getting caught up. I left her at her job and I was off to the Oregon Coast. I am staying in Depoe Bay where the wind is blowing and the air is COLD. I got a very nice room overlooking the ocean; the proprietors are very nice. I am currently in town having fish and chips and admiring the view.
