Honeymoon II
Now I am in Florence, Oregon. Dane and I are just headed up the coast. We are at a motel called the West Villa.
To continue posting about our honeymoon the day after Point Lobos we went to the Hearst Castle. Before this trip I did not know any castles existed in America I suppose that was quite a naive thought. We actually did not take the tours to the castle we just got to see it from a Telescope and read about it. It did seem really neat. All the pictures were breathtaking. What you can do if you are wealthy. We wanted to go to a place called the mission near Carmel but did not end up having time. We came back to the house Casa Blanca and played a card game with Lindsay, Kevin, Matt and Staci and Dane. I had a lot of fun. There have been a lot of games this week which have been fantastic. I even ended up liking Risk :)
The next day we packed up a long with everybody else. It was sad to leave. We passed through San Francisco and ate at Jack in the Box. I did not really like that city it was really crowded. I had never been to a place where you needed tokens to go to the bathroom I wasn't a fan of that. I guess Germany you do have to pay for the restrooms and I didn't mind that. We then headed off to a place called Fort Ross. I really really liked Fort Ross it was this old Fort that was made by Russians. Dane heard about it in one of his Anthropology classes. It was weird that no one we talked to had heard of it. At Fort Ross there were a lot of Germans so we think just Europeans know about that place. It was easy to imagine being there in the 1800's just imagining the Spanish charging we felt quite protected in the fort. The one thing the Russians really missed bread when moving to America so they started growing wheat here. I really like bread and am thankful for that. I also really liked the Eastern Orthodox Church. Before this trip I had not ever been into an Orthodox church to my knowledge.
We stopped and ate at this Fish 'n Chips place in a city called Fort Bragg. We did not like that city and we did not like that restaurant. We were expecting a cheap little place $5 dollars being the most. But it was more like $9 and did not taste that great. So people traveling through Fort Bragg don't stop there.
Dane I then started driving through the Red Woods forest those were quite beautiful. They are so large! It's weird to think how old they are. Dane and I then stopped at this camping site it was called something like Red wood resort. The camping site did seem really neat it was just that we pulled in right before dark and were just needing a place to set up are tent not actually have a big fun camping trip. The place reminded me of how much I like to camp and how much I wanted to make a fire and cook hot dogs and
s'mores on it. Mosquitos were attacking Dane like crazy though. They always go for him. I don't think I even got one bite and he has a million. I wonder why they like him so much. We eat the same stuff. He jokes and says he tastes like candy. But honestly Mosquitos are weird they always liked my mom too.
So far Oregon has been pretty. I have never been to this state before. I wasn't happy when I found out that we have to wait for people to pump up our gas here. I guess it gives people more jobs but I just felt like we could have done it much faster oh well. Tomorrow the one plan I know we are supposed to do is go to Sea lions cave. I am excited for that!
The car ride has been pretty enjoyable Dane downloaded a lot of books on his Ipad before we left. We have listened to a lot of different things which have been fun :)
