I waited outside the Pedal Bike Tours for the guide to show up. His name was Sam, he works for ODOT in the Columbia River Gorge so he knows alot about the area we were headed to.
We were joined by another couple visiting from LA and they were great fun. So Sam drove us to Highway 30 and we stopped at some scenic overlooks to begin with. It was a really pretty morning with some blue sky, some fog some clouds. It was great. From there we drove down the hill towards our first waterfall (Latourell) and he dropped us off to begin our ride.

What a beautiful way to see that area. There are 6 major waterfalls, all full of water right now and many little ones just from the sheer volume of water rushing out of the mountains. We did some hiking and biking and ended up about 9 miles further down the road. It was a good work out, great time!
Once back in town I headed up to the car and drove home via (not stumptown this time) but Clay's Smokehouse Grill. I had a beef brisket sandwich to go. They make amazing cole slaw and potatoes to go with it.
For dinner Sacha's parents offered to take her to her favorite Vietnamese restaurant and I was invited to go along as well. A place called Pho Van. They ordered the catfish. Its literally a whole catfish and they serve it with veggies and rice papers and you roll your own "tacos" with the ingredients. It was so good. That fish was the best catfish I've ever had. Not sure how they cooked it but it was so delicious. And of course I took a photo of him (the fish) he was looking right at me.
Sacha's mom made her an apple pie for her birthday and so we had a little slice of that when we got home. It was a good day.
