Wow were we busy today. We didn't want to pay too much for the elevator ride down into Sea Lion Cave when they wouldn't even let BJ take pictures. But the beaches nearby were beautiful. This grotto is apparently the world's largest sea cave and the sea lions like being out of the wind.
Not far from the Sea Lion Cave is the Heceta Head Lighthouse BJ and I hiked up the hill to the lighthouse and a beautiful view of surround shores.We also visited Oregon Aquarium and nearby Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. The science center was working on wave electric power generators which had to be really tough to endure the waves and storms. Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaplanbr/526279778/
Three other places we saw were Ripley's Believe It or Not with shrunken heads and other hoakum, Waxworks Museum featuring Michael Jackson, and the Undersea Gardens with a diver poking an innocent octopus, all near Newport, Oregon. Probably the most
interesting of all were the sea lions out on the docks trying to sleep and bite each other.Finally, we saw the Devil's Punchbowl, a sort of grotto on the sea shore. It must be the remains of a sort of sea cave that collapsed. It was very windy there. Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cgull/2778884589/
