We're in Bend, OREGON

Wanting to break up our long drive to Idaho, we have rented a home for all ten of us Haerrs in the very interesting town of Bend! What a blast.

We chose our Airbnb well with its Old Town Historic District location. This District encompasses approximately 32 city blocks and 338 individual parcels. It features a variety of architectural styles spanning in age from 1910 to 1950. Boy does it make strolling the neighborhood very intriguing!

What I appreciated was the fact that many of the buildings proudly displayed their history. The G.W. Horner building (c. 1916) is a unique brick building, constructed as a business investment.

Mother Nature competed actively with the architecture. Everything was in bloom.


I loved that no one here is afraid of color!

With kayaking being a very big activity here, it was fun to discover all the ways people pay homage to it.

The Deschutes River runs through the middle of town. We watched kayakers frolicking in the rapids. I wonder if this mailbox was the result of an unfortunate river crash.
Discovery is our prime purpose during our brief stay here. What fun!
