Weekend in Bend

On Thursday, Eliza let it slip that she and three of her friends were going to
Bend to spend the weekend in a house that they had rented, and that any of us
who wanted could go along. Since I was relatively free that weekend, I said
that I'd love to see what Bend was and where it is. According to the big map
that is pinned to the dining room wall, Bend is one of a triangle of cities
smack in the middle of Oregon, and more importantly it's on the other side of
the Cascades on the western edge of the Oregon desert. It seemed like the sort
of thing that would be well worth the time.
