Trip two:) Florence Oregon


Business first! We meet Dr. Pat Campbell the hospialist for two hours! He is a childhood friend of Dan's from Garden Home. After telling us about the life changing scandal he exposed in Redding California we got down to business!

Pat thinks Dan will, " sail through surgery".

At noon we headed west down Highway 99 towards Mapleton. It was a beautiful drive through wine country. We stopped in Sherwood for lunch at McMenamins. We are sharing a meal more often now.
Maybe we are preparing for the snmaller meals post surgery  (more and more, surgery is in our thoughts!).
We share a IRA beer, and have a sandwich half turkey, a tuna for Dan.
With side salad and tots.

It started raining as we approached Mapleton. Tonights restaurant was originally located in Mapleton, its train depot! We found our vacation home easily.



It has quite a history! It was on the historic register. A sadalry. Which our 'vacasa owners' tried to restore. The walls collapsed after they discovered only the roof was in tact, over a rotted floor and walls to support the structure.

We fed and pottied Pilgrim. There are so many beautiful features which i will photograph.
Dan went for ice. I showered for dinner. 
We had a reservation at The Waterfront Depot for seven.
Dan had a scotch and water, i chose the gingertini.
Two appetizers were the french fried green beans and thai grilled prawns. Both were excellent! The entree we shared. It was a crab encrusted cod filet over yukon mashed potatoes and a ceasar salad.
We shared a large piece of Mexican chocolate cake ; cinnamon spicy with almonds. Oh it was good. Our entire bill was inder $50. Astounding by Portland prices.
We are returning tomorrow to choose again.
Pilgrim has had a little trouble settling down. 
After watching the Blazers loose to the Clippers we go to bed.
