The message scrawled on this postcard is dated Aug. 6, 1913, in Seaside, Oregon. &#8220;Dear Mamma,&#8221; it says. &#8220;The weather is just grand here and having the time of our lives. Your daughter, Emma.&#8221;

Umpqua River Light in Winchester Bay is one of the five lighthouses being featured on a new series of U.S. Postal Service 41 cent stamps that go on sale today. The classic lighthouse, fourth from the left in the illustration above, was built in 1894 and is still in 24 hour operation. It&#8217;s open for [...]]]></description>

Gorse &#8212; kind of rhymes with &#8220;curse&#8221; &#8212; got its start on the Oregon Coast courtesy of Bandon founder George Bennet, an Irish nobleman who came here in the 1870s and brought with him the flowery, spiny, ultra inflammable plant. He probably thought it reminded him of Winnie the Pooh, a book that hadn&#8217;t even [...]]]></description>

One of the challenges of staying overnight in Florence&#8217;s Old Town is: no breakfast.
Mo&#8217;s isn&#8217;t open. What places there are, aren&#8217;t too inspiring.
FInally we found a great one one. Just a short walk up the hill from Old Town, on Highway 101, is Nature&#8217;s Corner Cafe &#38; Market, where the food is decent even if [...]]]></description>

OK, this is one of our favorite places to stay. Quiet, unpretentious, clean and comfortable, the River House is on the Siuslaw River in Old Town Florence, within walking distance of Mo&#8217;s and all the tourist junk. And right next to the beautiful McCullough            [...]]]></description>

A few miles north of Florence on Highway 101, you come to the bureaucratically named Darlingtonia State Natural Site, which is, as it happens, the only place in Oregon dedicated to the preservation of a carnivorous plant: the Darlingtonia californica (wouldn&#8217;t you know it would be a Californian).
Audrey this is not, though these bull-head ferns [...]]]></description>

We got over to Florence for the weekend, to one of our favorite restorative hangouts &#8212; the River House Motel.  There, after dinner at Mo&#8217;s, we camped out in an upstairs room, smelled the ocean air and listened to the sound of the river water lapping below our balcony all night.
On Saturday we headed [...]]]></description>

Friendly, muy autentico, really delicious food, and costs practically nothing. What else could you want? We stumbled across this little place while looking for breakfast and came back to have lunch.
Los Compadres Taqueria is on the west side of Highway 101 next to Old Town in Florence. It feels more Mexican than Oregonian, with phone [...]]]></description>

The best wax museum we&#8217;ve ever seen was in Mexico City, where the tourist attractions are not always hampered by matters of taste. That Mexican wax museum, which has since burned down, offered an R-rated smorgasbord of bodice-ripping scenarios best left, just now, to your imagination. [...]]]></description>
