1-4-09 Sunday (Dirty Asian Noodles)

We took a scenic drive today! We drove through a bunch of small towns as we headed for the Pacific coast. I love seeing these old towns. It's a mix of historic downtowns and just backwoods type living. You never know what you'll see. I will tell you that Southern Oregon has an abundance of sheep. Very odd.




We followed the Umpqua river until we made it to the Pacific! It seemed like such an accomplishment. After a VERY short (it was cold) stroll on the beach, it was time to head back. On the way home, we ate lunch at "Happy House" Chinese/Japanese restaurant in Reedsport. The food was OK, but not as good as I was hoping. It didn't stop me from eating almost all of my gigantic-enormous plate of food, of course. We had 2 soup choices with our meals. Jim had Hot and Sour. He was in the restroom when it arrived so I spit in it. OK, no, I tasted it. I didn't like it and expected him not to either. He didn't like it. I had Egg Flower soup which seemed like Egg drop. I've never had egg drop, I've always had Wonton, but that wasn't an option. It was OK. I'd still stick with Wonton. Yeah, Wonton is like dirty noodle water, but I like it.

The views of the riverside were OK. It was a mucky, dirty looking river so I'm not sure what to say about it. We passed an elk viewing area. We never saw elk until we were almost passed the viewing area. It really wasn't a big deal to us as we've seen plenty of elk, so we didn't turn around to get any photos.

Tomorrow is a travel day to Crescent City, California. From there, we'll be able to see the giant Redwoods!

My concentration is still thin so this is all I can do today.
