Spring Break

For Spring Break we decided to head south and show Marie some of the sights down there. We spent a few days at Papa & Grammy's house and took day trips from there. Two of my other students, Simon from Korea and Felipe from Colombia, didn't have plans for Spring Break either, so I invited them to join us.

The first day we hiked Cape Sebastian--one of my favorite hikes in the area. Papa dropped us off at the top and drove to the bottom to wait for us, so we got to hike the cheater way--down only. It was a beautiful hike! At the bottom, there a 1/4 mile walk down the beach to the parking area, and for the first time I can remember, there was no wind.

The next day we drove to California. At the suggestion of Simon's host dad, we stopped at Natural Bridge viewpoint, just north of Brookings. It was gorgeous! I can't believe I'd never seen it before.

We crossed into California and toured Trees of Mystery, including the new Sky Trail they've built in the past few years. It's a cable car ride that takes you up the mountain with breathtaking views.

Our last night there, Yola from Hong Kong (who is living in Gold Beach) came over to eat dinner with us. It was a fun time! Click here for more pictures of our Spring Break.
