Fri. Sept, 6, 2013 - Newport

Today was our first day off - we are off duty on Fridays and Saturdays ( people tend to check IN on those days more than OUT).  Se we had a leisurely day exploring our new town - Newport. 

It is a fishing town - big time - as depicted in this one ( of many) fishing related murals in the harbor area.  So we had some seafood for lunch,

then took a stroll along the harbor commercial district to see...

sea lions begging for their food and relaxing on the dock and...

a view of the beautiful bridge over Yaquina Bay from the inside.
