This post follows part 1 of our Oregon trip. :) Hope you don't mind.
Day 5 :: We started the day on the beach + then set out toward our next camping spot...a little ways up the coast in South Beach State Park. We stopped for lunch in Newport + happened upon the best spot to eat under the trees (Cafe Mundo). The beach was a mile-long walk away from our campsite + the afternoon was spent reading + beach combing. After dinner, we searched for shooting + fell asleep to sea lion barks.

Day 6 :: We went to Devil's Punchbowl, a fantastic place to spot whales. We saw multiple whales that just hung out near the shore spouting + flipping. We also went to Depoe Bay + watched whales in the bay there. We parked the van at Rocky Creek State Scenic Viewpoint in the afternoon + just hung out on the bluffs, made dinner in the van + watched the sunset over the ocean.

Day 7 :: We drove a little bit further up the coast to Cape Lookout State Park. Again we went to the beach + Julia found her long searched for sand dollar...lots of them. I'm not sure what it was about this beach, but it was full of sand dollars. We also saw a big crab scuttle back under the sand. Like on the other beaches, there were jelly fish too. We laughed so much our last night on the beach...running from biting bugs + scuttling creatures up + down the beach. The sunset was spectacular...and we felt lucky + content.
Day 8 :: We got up early, tidied up the van + drove back into Portland. We ate brunch (at Back to Eden), visited a few independent shops + a thrift shop...returned the van + caught a ride to the airport.

A few of the things we love about Oregon:
-all of the varied landscapes...so much to see...places to hike + camp
-friendly people
-a culture of care for the environment
-it's easy to find gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, zero-waste, organic options
-lots of independent shops, bookshops, thrift shops, coffee shops + places to eat
-no sales tax

Hope your summer travels have fed your soul...whether they were across the living room, across town, or across the globe. Every one of those has good things to offer. We just have to notice.

Love,
​Jane
