Our area's more like Houston, if you've ever been there during the summer. <br /><br />Oh, cool, I'm so glad to hear you found The Reactive intersting! I'd never heard of either of those books I bought but they're both set in South Africa and that's what I want to read about, right now. I knew buying them without a friend's recommendation was iffy.

But, it does drive you indoors, too, when it gets to the 100s. The humidity makes the heat even more dangerous, unfortunately, so I just hibernate as much as I can. A pool would be nice. We don't even have a city pool where we live. I didn't realize that till after we moved.

You can plan day trips as far north as Astoria, Tillamook and Pacific or south down to Yachats, Florence, etc. If you want to do something like the Rogue River boat trip, you could drive down to Bandon or Gold Beach and spend a couple of nights. My cousins rented a little beach house in Depoe Bay for a week. Super cute but a little pricey. I think it was around $1500 for the week.Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-11873675882292068932017-07-18T10:43:38.642-05:002017-07-18T10:43:38.642-05:00Interesting about the restriction on renting.

I used to have a friend there and I think he told me it was a tourist mecca of sorts. It's been a few years.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-71388379405788166532017-07-18T09:42:07.009-05:002017-07-18T09:42:07.009-05:00No, but I'm sure there are lots of vacation re...No, but I'm sure there are lots of vacation rentals all along the coast.
