Looking For a New Home Sep 16-18

Had a great several days living in Jessica's driveway.  Totally "Portland-like".  Went out for a fancy dinner Friday night and walked around downtown Portland on a "balmy" 60's evening.  An interesting amalgam of millennials, hipsters, homeless and tourists (me).

Last night we went to sleep serenaded by Julio, the neighbor down the street who has not infrequent "Salsa Nights" which run into the wee hours of the morning.  According to Scott (who dropped by there about 1:30 am) he also had some great tamales and Corona.

We left Portland this morning (Sunday) to scope out potential retirement cities down I-5 from Portland.  Salem and Eugene looked pretty nice, but we're a long ways from getting that organized.   However, interesting to think about.

Crossed over to the Oregon Coast and stopped early just south of Florence OR at Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, a huge expanse of dunes stretching 20-30 miles down the Oregon coast.

Better not be any Sand Worms around here!

Almost to the top.

ARE YOU COMING UP OR NOT? 

Wish I had a dune buggy.

If you take a picture of me fallin' flat on
my face, ther'll be no dinner tonight.

 So a nice day.

Good night from Florence Oregon.
