Pacific coast

We spent the night at a small Inn at Pacific Beach. There we had the chance of taking pictures with a real Academy Award (!). Today was a coast day. We crossed the Columbia River and entered Oregon around midday. Our first stop in Oregon was Cannon Beach. This little town – also a colony of artists – is recognized by its well-known landmark called Haystack Rock. The igneous rock has an elevation of 235 feet and is often accessible at low tide. Through beautiful landscape we drove to Portland.
