Pat had a hot shower at Moon Mountain RV Resort, sure felt good. Would stay at this RV Resort again. We decided to discover more of Grants Pass. Had brochures listing art galleries, restaurants, events, etc.
There was an Oregon themed outdoor art display in the older section of town - art doors! along several of the streets. Took my digital camera (just finished reading the manual and charging the battery) and captured a number of the doors.
Had a mango smoothie at Dutch Brothers - the Grants Pass local coffee company. Vance bought an Irish Creme Mocha. But when the barista found out that this was our first time trying their drinks, she gave us back our money!
We walked a little ways and found the Miranda Mae Cafe. We were going to check the menu posted outside to see if we wanted to go in. A couple came out and told us "everything is great" here. We had lunch at Miranda's place and it was, indeed, delicious and artfully presented.
We then headed for glassblowing at the Glass Forge. Took our time looking at the exquisitely colored glass goods. Pat decided on a vase. The three glassblowers were busy at their work - real team work - and explained each step of the process. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Headed east on Rt. 5 to Medford and found that the Chapins were not home. We used their driveway to "camp" overnight. Harry & David's gift store is here, so we arrived just before closing and browsed a bit. Instead of taking their factory tour tomorrow, we will just go to Crater Lake. Also shopped at Safeway for meat, milk, bread and veggies. Went to Costco for gas.Dinner: mozzarella wrapped in salami, artichoke hearts, mushroom quarters, tomato wedges with fresh basil antipasto; left over salad from lunch with fresh Washington shrimp, blood orange soda and pastry from Harry & David - cinnamon & walnut.
Ended at Chapin's, 1443 E. Main, Medford, OR [No check out time, private & quiet, missed Gary and Karen.]
