There’s no place like home for the holidays… but if you have to be away from home, the Oregon Coast is a pretty spectacular place to be. Since we were both Christmas orphans this year, a friend of mine from the cast of Figaro at the Eugene Opera and I decided to rent a cabin right on the coast in Yachats, Oregon for a few days around Christmas while we had a break from rehearsal. We had PERFECT weather and spent hours watching the waves crash on the rocks, looking for wildlife (we saw a herd of Elk!!), and just enjoying the tiny towns that lie up and down the coast of Oregon. We also visited a lighthouse in Newport, OR and were happy to happen upon the National Headquarters of the Rogue Brewing Company (just across the bridge from Newport…in case you want to find it!) Our only disappointment was that we didn’t see any whales…. ah well! Maybe next time!
