Oregon Coast - Route 101

After reaching Portland, Oregon we headed towards the pacific ocean and jumped on the tracks of Route 101, which we were going to follow down south almost all the way to San Francisco. This route is said to be one of the most romantic ones of the United States.

 

This is one on the most scenic lighthouses, looking north from the Sea Lion Caves.

 

This is at the wildlife sanctuary "Sea Lion Caves". An elevator takes you down to the caves where you'll see sealions. While we were there the weather was so good, that almost all sealions were outside.

Eva looking along the coastline. Note the blue fingernail! It was painted by one of the kids she was taking care of in Connecticut as an Au Pair. Sentimental as she is, she didn't remove the color for a long time. ;)

 

Ain't that beautiful?
