How beautiful is Bend! We are being totally spoilt by our good friends Tom and Betty who we are staying with while we are in Bend! We enjoyed a gourmet meal last night, prepared by master chef Tom, at a dinner party at their home with some of their lovely friends - great evening and delicious food! Thanks Tom and Betty for the great evening!
Today we had a leisurely morning and a fantastic brunch prepared by Tom before we headed out for a walk and a tour of Bend. Walking into town along the river trails from Tom and Betty's home was so nice - great scenery! Tom and Betty gave us a great walking tour pointing out all the points of interest in this beautiful town!
We had a great relaxing evening enjoying the basketball on TV and appreciating the mouthwatering Copper River Salmon Tom prepared for our delicious dinner!
A great day! Thanks Tom and Betty!
