Day 8 - Salem, OR

So much for yesterday's blue skies; by lunchtime in Corvallis (pleasant, laid-back, affluent home to the State Uni), it was trying to drizzle and, by teatime, it was tipping it down. Autumn looks to have started.

Just before it closed, we raced into The State Capitol building in Salem, not looking its very best in the rain but still very impressive both inside and out (shame we were too late for a tour but I can tell you from tiles on the pavement outside that Oregon's state bird is the meadowlark, the state fish the Chinook salmon and the state animal of course the beaver...)




Tomorrow it's McMinnville and the Oregon wineries. So who cares if it rains.
