So I went went to Medford from Klamath Falls falls yesterday, hit some snow finally but it wasn't too bad.

So weather has been good, the fairs have been pretty good, food has been good, I even had a gluten free sandwich at a place in Medford yesterday. My hotel selection has not been as good however. I accidentally booked a place in Medford with outdoor entrances, the room itself however was pretty nice. I have only done that like twice and you'd think I'd have learned by now. The hotel I'm in tonight has indoor entrances which is good:) Its not the nicest place but its fine and something I found kind of funny is that they gave me an actual key for my room, not a card. Its been a while since I've stayed at place with real old school keys.

So, its getting late I guess better get some sleep, I'm headed back to Salem tomorrow, yay!

Bend and Klamath Falls

So, here is run down of my trip so far:

Monday afternoon I drove to Sisters and it was wet but no snow or ice so a nice easy drive. (Actually getting on the road was a little challenging but I made it. I came into work late as most of you know because I was packing Monday morning, once I got to the office the craziness of visitors, phone calls and people coming into my office ensued and kept me from getting some things done I had planned so I left later than I meant to from work. I also forgot something at home so had to run back to my apartment which in the opposite direction. I had a bowl of quinoa in hand and in my haste rushing to get on the road I dropped that bowl all over my carpet so had to clean that up before I left as well. I have come the realization that I am actually quite a klutz sometimes.) I got to stay the night with Seth and Jenni Burke and it was so nice to catch up with them and see Jenni:) I always enjoy visiting Sisters it nice quiet, cute town and they have gluten free bakery!

Tuesday I got up stopped by the gluten free bakery for coffee and some pastries and headed to Bend. Again no snow so nice easy drive. The fair was a little slow but I was sitting by Dot from Fox so we chatted a bunch. From there I stopped by Cafe Yum in the Old Mill District and had a yummy gluten free meal:) I also stopped by Thump in Bend for some Stump Town Coffee before hitting the road. I know I know, you're all jealous and yes it was as good as it always it:) Again a nice easy snow free drive, I'm very thankful for that and made good time. I stayed with Ben and Barb Cornelius in Klamath Falls so had a nice home cooked meal and chatted with them last night. I had planned to do some work but they live way out of town so no Internet access. I did however spend some time working on my Greek homework. So right now I am sitting at my booth at Klamath Community College. Its a very tiny school and when I drove up I wasn't sure this was it since there are only like two building. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the response, its slow now but I have actually talked to a lot of people, way more than at COCC. So, this random little college might be work it:)

After this I head to Medford so hopefully I will avoid snow again. I'll update more later!
