We're enjoying an Oregon holiday here in this beautiful rural setting. We went to Colburg today, a peaceful village, filed with historic charm reflected in the vintage homes and many antique stores. I love the houses with their big verandas and lovely gardens. Everything is in bloom, lilac's, rhododendrons, dogwood trees, all the old fashioned flowers and shrubs. This little town was based on lumber in the 1850's but building a dam upstream essentially wiped out that industry in the 30's and there was no further growth.
We stopped at the Junction City Cafe to use the Internet and ended up having lunch. Incredible food!!! Ron had a ham and cheese grilled on dark rye with clam chowder while I had a tomato basil bisque soup with melted cream cheese in it. We're staying for free so it seems we're eating our way through the towns with the most delicious food in the most unsophisticated cafes you've ever seen. this cafe is furnished with odd chairs and old dining room tables, all different and charming. It has a library area, a bride ini her wedding gown, gifts, books and antiques for sale and we put a pin in the map to show where we are from. We're the first from White Rock.
