Oregon: Central Oregon – Tumalo Falls
Central Oregon has many beautiful places to visit and there are some fabulous hikes just a few minutes from downtown Bend. One of our favorite places to visit is Tumalo Falls.
Monaco
I have always loved the French Riviera, especially the part of the coastline from Cannes to the Italian border. Traveling along this coast, just before hitting Italy, is the tiny independent city-state of Monaco. We were lucky enough to spend a day exploring Monaco and we were fortunate enough to have spectacular weather.
Washington: Seattle – Broadfork (Eatery Review)
Using the Happy Cow app on my phone I had tracked down Broadfork, a vegan cafe a block or two away from the Seattle Center. They say they a farm-to-fork restaurant offering food that is both and vegan - so I thought I would give them a whirl!
Oregon: Portland – Bye & Bye (Review)
We are always on the lookout for new places to eat when we travel to Portland, Oregon - which happens frequently through the year. One place that has been on my list is Bye and Bye on Alberta Street. It is a real treat to find a bar that serves a totally vegan menu - saves having to ask a lot of questions when ordering our food!
UK: England – Warwick Castle
Of the many castles still around in the UK, Warwick Castle is the closest to my heart. I spent four of my most formative years at the University of Warwick – which is actually closer to the city of Coventry, but still I spent a lot of time in the town of Warwick and the castle was a constant backdrop to many of my happier memories of my youth.
Oregon: Ashland – Pangea Cafe (Review)
During our last visit to town I had got us tickets for the Sunday matinee showing of the musical Hairspray ( the Festival does many non-Shakespeare plays). So, we needed to find somewhere to grab a bite to eat before our show. Pangea is a small cafe / restaurant along Ashland's High Street serving soups, salads, wraps and paninis
Oregon: Ashland – Ruby’s (Eatery Review)
Established in 2011, Ruby's is nestled away from Ashland's busy high street on the border of the Historic Railroad District. They feature a wide variety of breakfast burritos and eclectic lunch sandwiches, including many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Ruby's also offers locally roasted organic coffee, espresso and a large selection of house-made refreshments (as well as beer, wine and cocktails).
Mexico: Quintana Roo – Las Robles (Review)
Los Robles is a bijou, brightly decorated cafe located on one of the main streets through the town. It looked so welcoming and luckily for us the one outside sitting area had just become available as we walked up. The menu had so many tasty options, but we wanted something very light to eat and were tempted by the vegan ceviche and mini empanadas, which came in a plate of three - so we ordered a mix.
