Day Two in Bend Oregon


After having a nice breakfast we headed towards
the Old Mill District-
We walked and walked all day
passing by patient dogs waiting ....



Walking by old schools having
 a second chance of usefulness....


The city of Bend has been smart at reusing 
old buildings, rather than tearing them down
and blending old with new.... 


Artists do the same creatively recycling
 old parts into new art.....


One example of affordable housing


Meanwhile geese look for lunch while
families float by on the Deschutes River...
a lovely way to spend the day....



Finally we discovered a great neighborhood
watering hole suitable for families
The Riverside Market....
