Holy Toledo!

Toledo, Oregon that is!

We decided to go back to Depoe Bay and Boiler Bay with a picnic lunch to see if we could see some more blue whales. On the way we decided to go inland about 8 miles to Toledo, Oregon. It turns out the town is actually called Port of Toledo. The Yaquina river flows from Toledo all the way into the Yaquina Bay in Newport and ships can travel up the river to Toledo.

It turned out that Thursday is 'Market' day in Toledo. That's kind of like a farmers market or artisan market which they did have in a parking lot, but a lot of the stores on their main street also had tables set up in front with baked goods or clothes or different knick knacks. We might have even found a couple things for baby Gracie! Somehow we didn't think to take pictures of the street, but Toledo seems to have a big lumber mill in it and we did get a picture of that. In this picture you can see wood chips flying off a conveyor belt.

We saw all these small sail boats. They looked like toys but they were infact small manned sail boats. We figured it must be a sailing class.

Sailing class?

After leaving Toledo we headed back to Boiler Bay. There were no whales anywhere to be seen but we still had a great lunch!

That's it for today.

Love you guys!
