LEAVING NEWPORT...ARRIVING FLORENCE, OREGON

We are now in Florence, Oregon...another beautiful city on the Pacific Ocean.  However, we were treated with an excellent performance last night by Nehemiah Brown at Whaler's Resort in Newport.  The theme of his performance with the assistance of his lovely wife began in Hawaii, then to tunes by Nat King Cole and others, followed by a few down home gospel songs.  The singer, Nehemiah Brown, is shown in the second picture.  These shows are part of his ministry throughout the US.  Here in Florence we are staying at the Port of Siuslaw Campground and Marina.  The first picture shows the Marina from the deck of a small shop nessled in Old Town.  Today we visited some of the shops and walked to the Sunday Farmer's Market.  Although the weather was overcast and brezzy, it was a nice dry day.  Tomorrow we will visit the remaining shops for starters.  Larry and Paul will get up at the "crack of dawn" to get a jump on the donut shop where donuts are driven in every other morning from Reedsport, Oregon...the best donuts this side of the Mississippi...very, very good.  More to follow in the next day or two...be safe.
