R&R with Dan and Doris

It's been really nice to be off the bike for a couple of days. I've been learning all about this part of my family from Doris and Dan, and a full history of the Otter Rock area as well. I've been very glad to be sleeping in a warm house instead of a tent as it's REALLY cold and there was over an inch of snow on the ground this morning. Yesterday it hailed repeatedly throughout the day and some of it was pretty good-sized. Highlights from a quick tour of the area were definitely: wine-tasting at the Flying Dutchman Winery, watching the Devil's Punchbowl in action, and a visit to the aquarium in Newport which was very fun. I'm learning a lot about the local animals and environment which has been quite interesting.

Yikes! It's snowing? I'm glad you got to take a break and stay in a nice warm house! The aquarium and winery sound like a lot of fun!

Love,
Laura :)
