Miguel's

We drove down to Shady Cove today to find Miguel's, the Mexican restaurant. It was a lovely 30-mile drive with lots of mountains in the distance and many large, rambling cattle and horse ranches. We followed the Rogue River for most of the drive; a beautiful, white-water river, though I couldn't take any photos of the rapids or waterfalls as I was driving and there was nowhere to pull off the narrow road.
 
Miguel's was right on the Rogue, with at least three outside patio areas.

Because it was in the mid-90s today, we decided to eat on the patio with the covered deck. The river is right below the railing, though the camera didn't pick up the water very well in this photo.  Alan and Mom, enjoying those Margaritas.

It was a wonderful Mexican restaurant, with lots of atmosphere, good music, great waiters, delicious Margaritas and ice-cold Coronas--since I was the designated driver, I only got to have the one Corona, boo hoo. Alan had a steak Fajita, which he said was absolutely perfect. I ordered the Chimichanga, with just-made guacamole and sour cream...oh yum, yum. Mom had a Tostada but said the Margaritas were the best thing on the menu. We spent a great couple of hours watching people rafting by on the river, enjoying the food and the drinks, and all in all, spending a very pleasant afternoon in "sunny Mexico."
