I developed this theme for the Pacific Northwest for many reasons, but mostly to satisfy my desires to discover all
there is to discover about a city. Every city has a space needle, water tour, monument, famous house, special city
tour or even a unique type of street. Have you heard the saying "Been there, done that", okay it isn't quite that easy
to explain, but it opens ones eyes to the other side of tourism.  There are other reasons, we have the most diverse
and most beautiful region in North America, from Portland to Vancouver, B.C. the cities and islands in between are
all ready to be explored in more depth.  Visit our region with a new look on your journey, experience some of the
worlds best Chefs, Restaurants, Markets, Coffee Shops, Bakeries, Confectioners and Bistros! Wine makers and
world class wines, along with world class cuisine.  This type of tourisms is perfect for everyone, it really gives you
and new prospective and appreciation to the cultural side of the region in relation to foods and wines.  We know
you will enjoy this different way of touring our region, it not only entertains, it entices your senses!
