Though I do not like the weather aspect of the winter I do love the seasonal food and drinks. There is almost nothing better to me than to walk inside from the cold to a warm house that smells like fresh bread and a hot drink!
Anyways, fall is here and even though I wasn't ready for summer to end, I have resigned myself to enjoy the weather, even if I am freezing and wet. Being in Oregon for their fall means you have to 'jump in the river to dry off' as someone here put it, but when the sun comes out it is truly a beautiful place.
The cafe here on the YWAM base just announced yesterday at lunch that they are now proudly serving eggnog lattes; this might have slightly raised my spirits.
Here are some seasonal tips I have picked up here in Oregon:
- Always carry a compass with you (no matter how far away something is they always tell you it "blank miles southwest of here" ... even if it's around the corner)
- Don't buy tea, carry a tea bag around with you (most places with give you a cup of hot water, cream and sugar for free)
- Wear your rain boots and swimsuit everywhere, you might have to swim to your car
- After hitting up the Starbucks for an Eggnog latte, head down to one of the eight coffee houses on the street for a Pumpkin spice latte, then head on to the next one for a cup of Thanksgiving blend coffee and so on
- If it's sunny don't expect it to be much longer
