Day 8

OK, it is now day 8 and we are now in Oregon. We are in Newport Oregon. We did not do much today other then drive Highway 101 really slow (little towns with 25 and 35 mph speeds) It was tough in that we only had to go 180 miles and it took about 5 hours. We did get stuck for about 30 minutes on the road while we waited for a movie that was being filmed on the highway. Don't know what it was, but we thougt we saw a silver volvo (it was not in the end, but everyone was excited when they first saw it following behind a camera car).

Once we got to Newport and into our hotel, we went and had sea food at Mo's. Tyler and Toniann had Oyster Stew and Clam Chowder. Tyler had an Oyster Shooter, which is a raw oyster with lemon and another sauce in a shot glass. He made sure to eat it when everyone else was looking away so they would not get sick before they ate. He said it was good. In the end Tyler prefers his clam chowder and oyster stew over the world famous Mo's versions. Interesting!

Well, tomorrow we will be going to the Oregon Coast Aquarium (rated in the top 10 aquariums). Oh, by the way we also went to the Devils Punch Bowl, it is a place where there were two caves along the ocean and due to storms and such the roof of the caves caved in. Now there is a bowl that the waves rush into through two entrances.
