Order among chaos
The next four days were somewhat of a blur. We camped at South Beach State Park for the rest of the time. It was nice to stay in one place for a while, not having to worry about taking down the tent or checking out by a certain time. Here's a few highlights:
We stopped in historic old town Newport for dinner at the Rogue Ale House. The beer was rather disappointing after hearing how great it was from several people along the way.
On Friday, we biked through South Beach State Park and went to the actual Rogue Brewery, where we sampled some amazing beers served on bottle trays carved out of wood. Despite my low tolerance for alcohol, my favorites were the Old Crustacean Barleywine (10.5%) and the Chocolate Stout (6.3%). The brewery had great food, too: muscles, clam chowder, and homemade bread. (By the way, the Latin sign says so
mething along the lines of: You're overeducated if you can read this).
On the way back, we stopped at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and got to see a baby octopus and touch all sorts of marine life. In the middle of the center, there was a large exhibit on chaos theory and dynamic systems. I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I’m
on vacation in a small little town and I can’t get away from systems theory for a minute. Maybe that's the point; it's everywhere; it's all around us.
