We were not the only people eager to hit the muddy trails for a Sunday beach hike in January.

Ashland, Oregon’s sister city is Guanajuato, in Guanajuato state in Mexico. They are the reason I have Pedro in my life.

Next in the Pedro-likes-thrills series is ziplining in southern Oregon last month.

Pedro and I took a hot air balloon ride across the valley.

The more you look, the more there is to see at McMenamins Edgefield.

The McMenamins family brought craft brewing to Portland and established a beer culture here.

Bonnie’s hike gave me the boost I needed to get outside and do my own hike.

On our last day at the beach, we played in the sunshine.

Tara introduced me to the darling little Pacific coastal town of Newport, Oregon.
