Casual Dining in Cannon Beach

Last month I enjoyed quality time along the Oregon coast and tried a few new eateries while strolling and shopping in charming Cannon Beach, an artsy, funky, cute little town on the northern part of the coastline. First up was Public Coast Brewing Co., a brewhouse whose name gives a nod to all 363 miles of public-access Oregon beaches. Offering about a dozen beers on tap plus a great house-made root beer (growlers and six-packs available for your picnic on the sand), it offers reasonably priced and exceedingly tasty pub food. They don't do a lot, but what they do, they do well.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film. And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.
