We can NOT find a good Mexican restaurant out here. Sure am missing El Som!!!! Everything here is “authentic” – doesn’t have all the cheese and sauce that we are used to. We are getting back to typical weather – really cool in the evenings. It is supposed to go down to 43 tonight. Last night, we had the bedroom window open. The wind was howling and it blew a little box off the windowsill. Tony thought someone was trying to come in the window. Last week, we found the trail head to Cowiche Canyon but decided not to walk it because the sagebrush was so overgrown and the trail was very narrow. Too good of an opportunity for rattlesnakes. I read in the newspaper yesterday that a cougar has been spotted near the trail, so I am glad we didn’t go. We did walk a short ways on the Greenway yesterday, along the river, but it was still hot and the mosquitoes were biting. Our best walks have been up and down the streets from the house. We can go later and it is cooler. We are enjoying housesitting. It gives us enough time to really get to know an area. Looking forward to being on the west side of the Cascades and on the beaches of Oregon and Washington. We definitely have to get some bear spray before heading out. We will be in some wilderness areas, and as someone from here told us, we’re not at the top of the food chain out here.
