We took that 4 week road trip and stayed home for just a couple of weeks before spending another week away, so we will probably be chillin’ at home for awhile. Last year for this trip up to Washington and back for a family 4th of July picnic, we stopped at the same place in downtown Bend for lunch, but this time we chose two different locations for the midday meal.
On the way up we drove right through a busy Bend and stopped at the next town north, Redmond, where we ended up at an eclectic little place called One Street Down Café. The temperature was in the middle seventies and we sat outside to eat under the trees in the side yard. I had a Cuban that was made using a savory french toast and Donna had a half and half ham & cheese sandwich and chicken tortilla soup.
On the way back we drove right through a busy Bend and stopped at the next town south, La Pine, at a place called Cinco de Mayo Mexican Restaurant. We had a hard time finding a parking spot because there was a Porsche Club event that was having lunch here too. Fortunately we were seated and order taken before everyone that was there in a P Car hadn’t arrived yet. We split some chicken fajitas that were served with delicious, made fresh on site, tortillas.
Hey Brian and Donna – good to see y’all are enjoying that area, at least you’re not in the 90’s temperature and high humidity as we have been lately. We’ve been on the west Coast a few times; one of our items in the bucket list is to dive the west coast hiway from end to end. Not sure that’ll happen though. Things/travel got slowed down for a while and we are back to going. We went to Hawaii in March, planning Vegas again in August (Ritas B’day), and Panama Canal in February. In-between will be family (we have a grandson) and shorter trips. Hope all is going well, and let us hear from you by posting on club Face Book page…
