I have lived in Bend for 25 years, so it was fun to see it from a tourist perspective! My husband and I met at the Deschutes Brewery in 2001, so we always enjoy going back in reminiscing about who liked who first! 😂. Thanks for visiting our beautiful town! ❤
As somebody who lives in Bend I loved this. It's always nice to see my city in the eyes of someone not from here. If you ever come back here are my additional recommendations: Breakfast- McKay Cottage (amazing food, great coffee and tons of outdoor seating for a nice day). Beer- Spider City Brewing (woman owned and so many delicious, inventive options - plus a handful of zero proof options), Lunch or Dinner - Spork (asian fusion), Food Cart Pod: We have so many great ones but two favorites are On Tap in SE Bend and MidTown Yacht Club.
We love Bend.... we go mostly for the snowsports and mountain biking, but the beer is a great bonus! And that warning rattle is a sound that you can't forget! I am thankful they have that nice little warning system to tell us they are not happy!
Hahahah we appreciate the correction on the pronunciation! We had no idea!! And so glad you enjoyed our video. We appreciate the recommendations for next time!
I'm surprised you missed out on Old St. Francis School. Like Kennedy School, it has been converted into a hotel with multiple bars, a theater, soaking pool, &c. It also has a secret bar in one of the buildings.
@@TouristtoLocal The school is McMenamins Old St. Francis School, one of the multiple McMenamin locations. There is one in Portland also. A cool place, I just took my son to see it.
My wife and I live here. I go to Smith Rock often. This is the second video I've seen where visitors go for the first time and see the otters. My wife is still waiting to see them. 😀
I've watch almost all of your videos, all over the world, and it's so bizarre watching you in my town, lol! Great video, you did Bend proud! Happy you included Deschutes Brewery and Sparrow Bakery, the best!
Hi guys, we just discovered you tonight because we are planning a trip to San Felipe and Ensenada this winter. We live in Bend! So we were thrilled to see your other videos, including your one on Bend. And as someone who has lived here for 8 years, you guys did a phenomenal job hitting a lot of the highlights. The Cascade Lakes are a must visit on your next trip. We have enjoyed your videos and just subscribed, so keep up the great work!! Cheers
Shhhhhhhhh we love bend, but after being here 9 years and watching it go from small town to city is nuts, it's mad populated and prices are bananas! Most the locals can't live here anymore
Oh! You guys were in my neighborhood! I live in Portland but have been to bend a few times. I’m glad you could get here for a visit! I love your enthusiasm and your chemistry :) Speaking of which, does your hubby have a much older brother?? Signed 54 and cool, - M
Great video guys, now please delete it. haha! Just kidding, we welcome visitors but a lot of people have learned about this wonderful place so it is growing at a rapid pace (even the rattlers are moving here) 😛. There's a lot of other things to do here but I'm really impressed in how much you covered and accomplished while being here. You'll definitely have to float the river next time and watch a few live bands. Also I didn't see it on your table but the Deschuttes Brewery has the WORLDS best pretzel. 🤣😆
Bend is too expensive. Lapine is Bend 20 years ago. The better investment. I say that as someone who was there and didn’t have the foresight to buy when it was possible. Could have made a MINT
Bend is aight.. I was there for two weeks for work. Food doesn't hold a candle to what Portland has to offer. The pub food is great but any of the more ethnic foods like the sushi or thai food just missed the mark for me. Also their Fire on the Mountain wings gave me the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life, I was literally bleeding out my ass from how much i was shitting and could not stop throwing up or dry heaving for three days straight. Straight villainous. But the Blockbuster was cool! lol
When they said they didn't want to climb Pilot Butte because they had already done "enough hiking" that day, I realized this video was like watching the two least "Bend" people visit Bend.

I watched a lot of your videos before our trip to the Yucatan. And now you're in my back yard! Bienvenidos!!
Just another great video guys!! Adding a new place to my list again! 😂 🎉 ✈️
We're glad you enjoyed the video!

Bend is such a cool spot. There's truly something for everyone! And you're right, you definitely won't forget that sound!
"TUM" as in tummy. "Alo"

Bend is a drinking town with a mountain problem. That’s why we live here!
🤣

Whattttt?! That's so cool! That didn't come up in our research at all!

Ahhh this comment made us smile! Thank you so so much!!!
You did it! You went to the last Blockbuster! My favorite movies to rent were old classics before 1980--movies I was too young to see in the theater.
Oh that's so interesting! It was a different era back then!
Wow, so beautiful there! The food looked delicious, the park was beautiful, so glad that you turned back at the rattlesnake warning!
Right?! Bend is stunning! Even if it has rattlesnakes 😉 thanks for watching!!
I love Central Oregon. We moved from Oregon city Oregon to central. Love every bit of it.
How lucky! It's a beautiful area!
I love Bend 😍! We visited last year and had an amazing time! Greetings from the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Thanks so much for watching!!! We love the Netherlands!!!
Awesome video ! 🤩 now I feel like visiting Bend ☺️
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!

Ohhhh this is such a sweet comment! Thank you so much! How funny we made it to your city when you found us while researching mexico!! Cheers!
The last time we went to Smith Rock State Park we saw two Rattle Snakes and i knew we can not any further out.
So they must really be common here! Good to know!
You were in my home town/ where I live and im just now seeing this 😭😭😭
You are so lucky to be from here! What a cute hometown to have!
Shhhhhhhhh we love bend, but after being here 9 years and watching it go from small town to city is nuts, it's mad populated and prices are bananas! Most the locals can't live here anymore
Nice choice going to Crux. They are an underrated beer here in town. Their food is pretty good too.

Speaking of which, does your hubby have a much older brother??
Signed 54 and cool,

Aww thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed! No older siblings, just a younger brother and sister 😉
This is a great video! I've been trying to convince the hubby to go to Oregon. Lol!
Hopefully this helps convince him! Thanks for watching!
remember the entire Oregon coast is public property too :-)
no fences
Woah, that's so interesting!
I actually live here! So glad you enjoyed :D
Oh cool! Thanks for watching!
Long drive from NE Portland where you were two blocks from my house to Bend where I haven't been since I was a kid
Oh wow!!! How funny :) thanks for watching!!
Check out the seven wonders of Oregon. I see you have done two so far! Well done.
Woah! We had no idea this was a thing! Looks like we will see 3 with our plans for next week!!!
You should come to Eugene 😊
We've never been! That would be awesome!
I live in bend
That’s awesome!!! Thanks for watching!

It’s actually pronounced Tuh-m-ah-low not Toomalo

WOW! We shall avoid the Fires on the Mountain wings then!!
@@TouristtoLocal Glad you guys had fun in Bend, and stay safe!
It was better 10 years ago.

😂😂😂 we can’t hang!
Nice choice going to Crux. They are an underrated beer here in town. Their food is pretty good too.
It’s a great spot! Too bad we didn’t get to try the food there. The beers were amazing!
