It's a "Crater" of Love - Part Two

We went to the area that is in the actual lake. As you getting closer and closer, you can see how unique this lake is. What impresses you at first is that is a vibrant blue, the bluest blue you can ever think! Also, how big the lake is. It is so big that inside in the western side has a little island that is called Wizard Island.

You can take a boat that gets little sightseeing tours around the lake. We hop into one and as we were going along the waters of the lake, we can see how pristine the water is. The boat captain was telling us about the “Old man of the Lake” which is a huge piece of wood that has been wobbling since 1896!!! It moves depending on the weather, right now hasn’t move cause the weather is clear and beautiful. But since is huge it wobbles and that’s it. The captain maneuvered the boat as close as he can possibly can and we all took pictures of the huge trunk. Let me tell you, that thing is huge, the captain said that one person can fit perfectly on top of it, plus is long…here’s where you can see how clear the water is!

We finished our tour of this marvelous area, so we both decided to end the day with a nice dinner. We asked around and the people around told us that the best places are found in a town nearby called Ashland. Several people told us about a steakhouse named Omars Restaurant. We went there, the place is totally great. The atmosphere is all family but with the servers were hip and full of energy. The food, simply is fantastic! You’ll lick your fingers. We both got a little taste of the steaks and seafood. Alejandra got the NY Strip and I got the Tuscan Seafood Fettucini, however, we both cut our plates in half and share the food.

It was an awesome time we spend here in this area of Oregon. The scenery and the natural vistas are spectacular. The driving is cool cause the roads are well-kept and the car we pick was excellent for what we wanted to do, something intimate and romantic at the same time.
