The Long and Winery Road - Part 1

Greetings, readers!

So, it's been another couple weeks since we've posted. Mostly that was because we took a 10 day vacation to Oregon and Washington.

For the trip, we started out in Portland. What a fun city! Lucia had been there briefly for work, but I had never been there before. We had no idea it was such a "foodie" city! We ate at a few local spots that couldn't be described as anything but amazing. If you're ever in Portland and looking for breakfast, go to Tasty and Sons...you will not be disappointed.

After Portland we started the "wine" portion of our trip. We went to a bunch of fun wineries in the Willamette Valley (and even learned that it's pronounced Will-LAM-ette...who knew?). Lucia was amazed and thrilled because on one side of the street would be beautiful vineyards and on the other would be grazing horses. "The best of both worlds!" according to her.

In both Portland and the Willamette Valley we found a lot of outgoing, caring, and passionate people. We really feel like we got a good sense of the culture and how happy everyone seems to be out there.

In the next post, we'll move onward on our journey..

Arrivederci!

Ricardo
