Woke up pretty early, before 7. Packed up and went with the Finch's to Stepping Stone Cafe. AWESOME "Smothered B.A." omelette and INCREDIBLE pumpkin pancakes! WOW.
I dropped them off near the car place -- and popped into VOODOO -- then we parted ways. I took the day off, so rather than just drive back to EUG and sit around, I decided to take a "mental health day" and drive out to the coast and down.
Drove to Seaside, then down to Arcadia beach, where I slipped into my Pearl Izumi running tights, last worn the day before, and exchange body salt for sea salt. Man, was it FRIGID! But like always, when I FINALLY submerged, it felt GREAT! I wasn't in there long, though: maybe 8 minutes.
Sunny with only a light breeze at the beach, which was terrific! :) Perfect way to start the day.
I then hopped back on 101 North to check out Cannon Beach, which I'd heard a lot about. Stopped in town at "Bald Eagle Coffee" or something, had a tea, charged my cell phone (on ANOTHER charger I had to buy), and WROTE in my "journal", penning some more "Amber letter". :) I bet I must've been there for 90min.
After that, I hit the road south. At first the traffic was pretty good, then around Tillamook it was AWFUL: like 30mph. Annoying. Took 'til nearly 4:30 to get to Newport. Stopped at Rogue and had two (St. Rogue Red, Shakespeare), then hit the road for home.
Got back to SPFD at 7:30. Lotta driving, but GOOD DAY! :)
