The Haunted Motel

The sound of the waves all night made me think it was raining, raining really hard on our poor bike. Fortunately, we awoke to a perfect day on the coast and we stayed most of the morning, enjoying the view, and found ourselves quite reluctant to leave. We do have a plan for a future visit that includes, family, friends, and a week long stay.
We left the cottages and headed for historic Bandon. The artwork on the pier was celebrating the Year of the Horse. There are some very creative artists of all ages who entered pictures. We ended up in a wonderful store, Second Street Gallery, filled with artists work from all over Oregon. There were some mobiles that were amazing. The artist made the pieces out of stained glass.  Each tier depicted a layer of the ocean. The top tier was boats and so forth to under the sea.  I loved it. Then one of the women who worked there played the harp. I wanted to move in. Bandon is a wonderful town. I might just relocate.

On the way to Gold Beach we stopped for lunch at Redfish, a wonderful little restaurant over looking the ocean. The view was stunning. The food could have been horrible- the view was four star. Except for the little black hair I found just as I was finishing my meal. Ummmmm. I still can't decide if I am grossed out about it. The view was that good.

So, we get to Gold Beach Inn, the place we ALWAYS, stay, only to find out that somehow I made a reservation at the Beachcomber Inn. I don't know what happened. The names are not even similar. We tried to get out of the reservation, but, no. The Beachcomber is really old. So far our phone doesn't work, the DVR didn't work, the doors swings open on its own, we were the only people here for a long time, and we are sure it is haunted. And then there is Big George. The fellow who came up to fix the phone and DVR, became George's BFF. Oh, the phone doesn't work, that's ok. Oh, the movie doesn't play, no big deal. Well, it wouldn't be a good trip without one creepy nights stay.

Great walk on the beach, ordered some yummy pizza delivered to the haunted room, and sat out on the balcony enjoying the sunset. We discussed the advantages of selling our home and purchasing a huge RV and traveling the country. We couldn't come up with any.
