For slightly over two hours I met and then toured the town of Bandon by the Sea with seven other delightful people tasting and savoring and seeing the town like never before. After sampling the fare of five restaurants I was well fed and glad that I attended. I learned about the history of the area. It was a great experience. I’m reminded of an old adage in advertising. “The best advertising is through word of mouth”. I believe this and and future participants of this tour will spread the word in the very best way.
