It’s been awhile since this trip, but I’ve been super busy with Library School. Anyways, Jen and I took an amazing trip to Newport, OR a few weekends back and stayed at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. This is a literary lover’s dream of a hotel! there are no tv’s, no phones, and tons and tons of books and quiet little nooks to read in. Each room is themed after a famous author; we stayed in the Edgar Allen Poe Room, and were stalked by one of the resident cats named Shelley.
Seriously, this cat would not leave us alone! She followed us everywhere and stayed in our room even while we were out having dinner. Needless to say we had such a good time!
There was a massive storm the night we were there, and so the house made creepy creeking noises and the rain pounded on the windows, and we could hear and see the stirring ocean from the front reading room. Who could ask for more out of a vacation than books, cosy chairs, cats, and a stormy coastal night in which to enjoy the tales of Poe.
