Last night we had dinner at an amazing restaurant called Canyon Crest. Our table was located out on the balcony overlooking the Snake River. The view was spectacular. We even saw a base jumper-which is someone who jumps off structures with a parasail. The bridge that we could see from the restaurant is one of the few in the US where one can legally jump from. The whole sensory experience of being outside in a glorious postcard and having a waterfall running below us was pretty special. George was pretty happy with his prime rib too.
So, this morning. Once again we were on the bike and out on the road by 6am. You would think we were not on vacation. It was so cold that we had most of our clothes on. I was whimpering on the back and at one point actually wondered if I could ride with one of the truckers for a while just to warm up. George pulled off the highway and into the parking lot of a restaurant and we both fell off of the bike. The young waitress immediately ran for warm drinks. So, I did not really want to eat as I was to cold, but I decided that perhaps some hot oatmeal would help defrost me from the inside out. George ordered a 3 egg omelet. Now, I order the small bowl of oatmeal because the large bowl generally resembles a sink. So out comes our meals. The waitress puts mine in front of me and says, "I hope it's enough". Truly there was between 1/4 and 1/2 cup. I had it down in 10 seconds. When I glanced over at George's breakfast I about fainted. His omelet clearly was the daily dozen special. He also had a huge heaping helping of potatoes and two gigantic pieces of toast. Even Big George was spellbound by the sheer size. He could only eat half. HALF! Even tonight he said he wished he could have eaten more it was so good. Man.
So, we finally made it to our last night in a hotel. We are at AmeriTel Inn in Bend, Oregon. I think it is related to the hotel we stayed at last night because there are suspicious similarities. We are located right by the river and within very close walking distance of cute shops and wonderful restaurants. In the morning Sandy and Nancy will be joining us for breakfast! They will be staying in Bend tomorrow night and then joining us for the ride home.
A few side bars:
A restaurant I saw in Burns, Oregon today- Meat Hook Restaurant - Really
Great moment: Seeing wild horses
Tomorrow we are off to Medford, Oregon. We will be staying with two of our favorite friends, Carol and Thomas. Thomas is Carol's cat and he is awesome. We love visiting Carol and this will bring the final days of our journey to a splendid close.
I am making George watch Glee Club right now. He's had a few comments. "What's the difference between Glee Club and cheer?" And, "Thank God Son's of Anarchy are going to be back on soon."
On that note. Good night. Jenson
