Jen's Journal

So, Oregon has been graciously providing me with samples of everything from wine, to candy, to jams, to cheese. My favorite, naturally, was the stop at the winery outside of Nehalem. The lady working the bottle was ensuring my plastic goblet never reached emptiness. They had an amazing pinot noir which I forked over 30 bucks for. As I staggered out of there I headed a couple miles down the road to the closest campsite. The wine was drank while watching the sunset on Barview beach, cheddar cheese and beer sausage were provided.

Next food visit was in Tillamook at the Blue Pelican. This place had samples of everything. And by the size of the visitors you can tell. I am absolutely amazed by the girth of these people. I lauged so hard as a large tourist group, (were talking large weight), pulled out with a soda pop and a bag of potato chips on the roof of the mini-van. A concerned citizen chased the car down to ensure that a drop of the junk food never hit asphalt. Thank god, eat on...

I must admit I am probably eating worse than alot of these people, however, riding for 4-5 hours a day I feel I can handle some more ice cream and burritos in my diet.
