When it's 100 degrees in Ashland, it's usually about 70 degrees at the coast! Our friends, Chris and Carlon escaped the California heat and joined us at Ten Mile Lake, in Oregon. The weather was great and the seafood yummy! In Florence, we had gluten-free fish and chips, some of the best we've had. The batter and ling cod was excellent and without using wheat flour! We came back home by way of Bandon where the ocean coast scenery is always spectacular! and breezy! Our special treat here is a beech front walk in cafe with basic seating if your lucky and $10 crab cocktails! They felt sorry for us old folks and we got seats inside which was like being outside! A wonderful experience that reminds you of the Wharf in San Francisco.
We then toured the coast and managed several short walks but the scenery is just too spectacular to miss. And if you insist on exercise, try the 500 step stairs down to walk in the surf! And as you observe, there were many walking along with a group on horseback.
We made it back to Ashland to celebrate Carlon's birthday with a special cake, can you guess?
