Another forest/road photo.

A thicket of firs. There are many of these type of evergreen in Oregon.

A photo along Nye beach at Newport.

Another photo of Nye beach.

Some more of Nye beach.

The Sylvia Beach Hotel which is on Nye beach. By the way Sylvia Beach is the name of a famous author, not the location.

The Dr Seuss Room is where we spent our first night. We were going to stay in the Hemingway room, but this room had a view of the ocean.

Not only did it have a view, but the theme was too fun to pass up. They even had many of his books to read as well as man other surprises.

In their gift shop they had many practical as well as fun gifts. Here is an librarian action figure that will actually shush people. :-)

An abstract photo of the base of a huge tree trunk.

Some more tree trunk.

Our 2nd night we spent in the Agatha Christie room. It is now our new favorite along with the Collette room that we stayed in a few years back.

Even a fireplace, but with it being summer no fire for us.

A little book nook, and door leading to our deck over looking Nye beach and the Pacific ocean.

Some more of the room. There was more to this photo, but Rich's thumb had to be cut out. lol :-D

A view of Nye Beach from our deck.

A close up of the door way to the deck. It is made of fused glass. And if you look real close you can see writing on some of the glass.

More writing on the fused glass.

Extreme closeup of some of the fused glass.

Amazing to watch the mist roll right off the sand.
