Bandon

We woke up and went to a the Riverfront park in Roseburg, Oregon. I did a few stretches and some light exercising. Then Sandy and I fried some potato’s and a couple of eggs in the cast iron skillet. We also had toast with jam and apple slices. A delicious breakfast! I am going to try to spend more time studying. At night I am reading A New Earth by Echart Tolle and this morning I started reading the book of Luke from the Bible. Sandy allowed me to read out loud and we had some discussion. This journey is one of travel, but I believe it is more so a journey of personal discovery. Anyway… so after we washed dishes we head to a local market where we went to buy a few groceries for the week. We wrote down what we bought and the cost, and after we had gathered everything we wanted we went through and figured out what we needed and what we needed to put back = ) Difficult to do!!!! After we finished we went to get gas, and let me just mention that it is illegal in Oregon to pump your own gas. I got jumped on the other day when I tried to pump my own, and the attendant told me it is a 6000 dollar fine or jail time = ). He said they never passed a law allowing people to pump their own gas…did not know you needed to. Well, we headed down the road and stopped at a place called Bandon. There we went to walk on the beach. We climbed on rocks, looked for unique rocks, and at one point a huge wave came in and we had to run from the water = ) Later Sandy was looking for rocks, and I went to climb up on this large rock formation. As I yelled at her from the top she yelled at me to get down because it looked like rain was coming. As I climbed back down, I was started to see that a baby sea lion was laying right next to the rock where I had climbed up. I quickly took a picture of it with the camera, but was so startled that I did not get a picture on my phone… I just ran away. It was just so unexpected. Felt silly later = ) As Sandy and I began to run back to the van we realized that it was not rain coming in, but the thickest fog we have ever seen. Sandy said it was the kind of fog that surrounded pirates in the movies. We then made it back to the van where we warmed up left over quinoa and chicken with a can of cream of chicken soup, sounds strange but was very tasty! Then it was down the road some more to where we now sit around a campfire: Cape Blanco.On the way here though the sun was setting and mixing with the fog...breathtaking colors, that were just to hard to catch with the camera, but i included on shot of it anyway! It is cheap to camp here and there are showers = )Always a plus!!! I cooked up the beef we had bought earlier into hamburger patties, and we warmed the remainder of our earlier lunch. The MOON is so BIG AND BRIGHT tonight. I think it is full or at least close to it. It makes silhouettes of the trees that tower above us! It feels so good to be sleeping underneath the STARS, somewhere other than a Walmart parking lot = ) We send our love to you ALWAYS! Namaste!
