Funny, to have posted my previous post and then be here traveling towards the pacific ocean.Reason told me to save money and stay at home and apply for more jobs. Heart tells me to go back to India for a year and utilize my remaining time in the United States to see more of this beautiful country.

I am following my heart. And loving it.

Drove from Providence ,Utah to Bend ,Oregon for about twelve hours yesterday. The landscape throughout the drive was pretty much high desert , open spaces and distant mountains.

Sue and I are staying at the Sundance Ranch at the bunkhouse. The entire bunkhouse was deserted last night and will be so for two more days as there was a terrible flu around which made about 25 people very sick. We are two very brave (or like Sue says, Stupid) women who are too stubborn to change our plans.Plus I have immense faith in my immune system.

Here is a view of yesterday's beautiful sunset at the ranch.



Isn't this just the prettiest sunset?

We were told that there was a wildfire around the west of Bend.It was slightly smokey amd the air smelt like campfire mixed with pines. When it was dark, the moon was so yellow that it was almost red. I battled the fear of rattlesnakes in the dark and went outside to shoot the moon.




This morning , we woke up early at 8 am and walked around downtown and visited art galleries.Here are some pictures of Bend.Until tomorrow.
