Smart Cat (aka Spencer)
* Spencer and I had a weekend affair, spending each night together and enjoying each others company 
Then there was Shy Cat (aka Oscar)
And Crazy Cat (aka Margaret)
In addition to kitties there were llamas, goats and sheep…
Spencer coming out with us to feed the other animals…
We had an amazing view of Smith Rock
During my visit to Bend Oregon I wasn’t very impressed by the meals we had while out and about - not that they were bad, but they weren’t particuarly good either. By the third day, we decided to ask a local. She suggested Cafe Yumm - good food plus all organic. Can’t beat that! So we decided to give it a try that evening.
We found Cafe Yumm in the Old Mill shopping district. At first I was a bit skeptical because it kind of has a fast food look to it. Their menu had a bunch of options and I almost went for the tasty sounding salmon (wild, line caught) burger. However, I could see they are known for their Yumm Bowls and since it may very well be the only time I would be able to experience Yumm (to date only located in Oregon), I figured it was only proper to experience their specialty.
I got their Original Yumm Bowl (sans sour cream and olives).
It starts off with organic brown rice and organic black beans layered with their secret sauce, then topped with organic salsa, cheddar, diced tomato, fresh avocado slices and cilantro.
It was super tasty - by far the best meal we had there (and ironically the cheapest and probably the most organic).
If you are in or travel through Eugene, Springfield or Bend Oregon, I highly recommend enjoying a Yumm Bowl!
Tags: bend oregon, Food, Life, TravelLast week I took a rode trip up to Bend Oregon. My goal of the trip was to check out the city as a potential future residence.
This was a less than ideal time of year to go, being shortly after a big storm, but we had the awesome opportunity to stay with a friend of Felix’s who was house-sitting near Smith Rock - the views were spectacular. As an added bonus we got to see llamas, sheep, and goats on the ‘farm’.
I really enjoyed my time there, exploring the downtown and local neighborhoods. The city is a perfect size (for me) and has a beautiful natural terrain with stunning views of The Sisters (pictures to follow)
We also made the short drive to Sisters, a very cute town with a population of 1760. Adorable town!
Even with the cold, the sun was mostly out so we managed to get in a couple short hikes at Smith Rocks.
In short, I found Bend to be a really great place that was in an environment and has a culture I like. Unfortunately I think the biggest con for Bend is the housing cost are a bit out of my comfort range for the house I would be looking for.
