My First Lighthouse

Friday Evening Venerdi Sera

Well today we left and it was not yet raining. We stopped at the first gas station nd filled up not realizing that the Oregon border was only 3 miles away and gas was 35 cents a gallon cheaper. On the Oregon coast we stopped at many scenic outlooks as well as the Cape Blanco lighthouse. This is the only lighthouse in Oregon that gives tours allowing you up to the top to see tha actual light. I have wanted to do that since I was in grade school so today another dream came true. We also watched the "lighthouse cat" chasing gophers in the field. We have finished the day in Coos Bay where we bought groceries for dinner. We are not renting a cabin tonight as they are too pricey at this KOA. We are using the tents instead. Naturally it started to rain when we arrived in Coos Bay but it was just a teaser. It is not raining now but it is cold and damp so the chill gets right to your bones. It will be a good test of my new sleeping bag. ~160 miles today, lots of sightseeing stops.

Non siamo andati molte miglia oggi ma abbiamo visto tante cose. Il tempo aveva freddo ma nessuna pioggia finalmente. Ma eravamo bagnato perche' dei nuvoli bassi. Abbiamo visitato un lighthouse (casa di luce per le nave sul mare). Era molto interessante. Stanotte dormiamo nelle tende perche' una cabina qui e' troppo caro. Spero che il tempo non sara' brutto! ~160 miglia oggi.
