Hood River - July 10, 2011

We left our old neighborhood for the last time this morning and headed out the Columbia Gorge.  It was a beautiful day, so the traffic, both car and bike, was really heavy.  We stopped at Cascade Locks to check out the river excursions.  We decided not to do one, but I took this photo of a sculpture of Lewis and Clark's Indian guide, Sacagawea.  It was a beautiful sculpture, depicting not only the guide but her infant on her back and Seaman, the dog who accompanied the explorers.


 In the afternoon we checked into the Inn at the Gorge in Hood River.  It's a  beautiful house just two blocks above the main street in town. 



We walked into town and had dinner at 3 Rivers Grill.  The streets are very steep and remind us a lot of Ashland.  We were able to walk off a lot of the bad stuff we had for dinner, including tiramisu for dessert!
