Trip to Oregon with Savta & Saba



Spending a month on the California-Oregon roads with Savta, Saba, ima & aba has been a one-of-a-kind experience for all of us. I was breathing fresh air in forests, by rivers, and in chilly beaches while being snugged in my comfy baby-carrier. Savta bathed me in all sorts of tubs and sinks while traveling from one B&B or hotel to another. One of my favorite places was the Rogue river, where we stayed for a week in Jill, David & Jeanna's house in Galice, Oregon. Saba had spent days and days of singing to me on the balcony and in the river bank while I was lying in my favorite position on his arms. We stayed in boutique B&Bs such as the "Metro Hotel" with a French orientation, another which was built in 1865 and was renovated lately, one which looks like a museum and used to belong to a family, where savta laid me between the dolls which belonged to the kids living there. I stayed in the kids' room surrounded by these hand-made dolls in the oldest B&B I've ever stayed in. This was quite a unique experience during our trip in Oregon. This was a home whose owners were very fond of fly-fishing, and many of the decorations there were anglers and sketches of fish.
