Off to Bend I go! And it's already an adventure.
This morning I packed and started the drive. It was beautiful! There were many moments along the way that I thanked God for the amazing creation that He has made. We are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful area.
I arrived in bend at my hotel around 5. I booked my four nights at the Red Lion. Once I arrived I was so disappointed and frustrated. The Red Lion was not a hotel, it was a motel. It looked sketchy and it was an outside entrance which surprised me. I didn't think Red lions did outside entrances. So I pulled up Priceline to see if I could still get a good rate at a better hotel. I found another hotel that is much better and safer. It was in the budget and because of the room I picked at the Red Lion they aren't charging the whole night stay which is also wonderful!
I like this area I wish I could spend a weekend here. Sarah! I want to float down the river with you again! Maybe this time we won't end up in the pond... I am going to go to Sisters Coffee tomorrow and see if some students want to join.
This time I brought audio books to make the drive fun. I love it! Right now I am reading/listening to The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and it is sooooo good. If you like historic fiction and books during the time of the Third Reich then I would suggest this book. I am only two discs in but the writing is stunning. If you want to know more about it please ask me! I would love to talk about it!
Okay that is all for tonight. Enjoy your Monday morning. I miss you all. It's weird to be back in the travel mode.
