Day 20 Newport, Oregon

Woke up this morning to wind and rain. I thought it would be a wasted day, but by 10 o'clock it cleared up and the sun semi-shined. We found out it's possible to rain here every 15 minutes for 5 minutes all day. Just something to deal with in coastal Oregon. It sure makes it green though. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is here in Newport and was suppose to be well worth a visit. We got there before noon and enjoyed the extensive collection of fish, otters, seals, birds, etc. We almost had the whole aquarium to ourselves.

Afterwards, we drove down to Seal Rocks and took a couple of pictures before going to lunch at the Clearwater Restaurant over by a huge fleet of Dungeness crab fishermen. Naturally we didn't have any crab, instead I had Halibut and Sylvia a Salmon Burger. It was an enjoyable lunch watching the seals grumbling at each other and the boats heading out with their decks overflowing with crab pots.

We skipped dinner and got ready to leave early tomorrow for more coastal driving down to Crescent City, California.
