JUST THE TWO OF US (DAY 2)

Monday morning we arose after about ten hours of sleep, checked out of the motel, and began our hike through Old Town Bandon. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at a popular restaurant, shopped and browsed for a couple of hours, drove to Shore Acres, then finished the day at the Port of Gold Beach.



The Minute Cafe in Old Town Bandon serves great omelets.

After breakfast, we walked on the dock among the seagulls.



The shops in Old Town Bandon occupied most of our morning.

Just two of us in a two-passenger pickup with two suitcases strapped in place using two bungee cords.

Ending the day at Jot's Resort in Gold Beach. The bridge behind us spans the Rogue River at the Port of Gold Beach. The bridge was built in 1932 and, ironically, is 1932 feet long.
