LAYOVER IN BEND

Our host and chef, Peter, describing brreakfast

Much to our surprise we really like Bend.  We were here 30 years ago and not impressed.  One woman told me she grew up here and it was 7,000 people, now it's 82,000.  Apparently it's become a popular spot for retirees and second homes.  We went to a fabulous restaurant tonight, Ariana, with some other guests from our B&B.
Typical layover day - but we went to REI (huge one) to get a filter so we don't have to carry so much water with us (long biking with NO services).  Bob also had to buy another GPS (his died).  It was another beautiful and hot day but the weather is supposed to change dramatically. The high isn't supposed to be over 60 tomorrow with winds.  We're only going 33 miles to Elk Lake (that way we don't have to camp).
We got in touch with Dave and Lois Hagen, friends way back from our Boston days, who live in Oregon.  They're going to try to meet us in Crater Lake on Wednesday - should be fun!
