Valdez Bravo of the Portland VA Medical Center Team takes a break on his commute to spend some quality time with former Portland Mayor, Vera Katz
Valdez started bike commuting this summer and discovered the Eastside Esplanade on his commute home.
What the hell's an "esplanade"?
Oh, they are great! Hot caramel apple treats from our friends at Taco Bell.
Bravo, Bravo! Bet you never heard that before, right?
Such a great photo!
Love it!

Awesome!
Bravov, comrade on wheels! Nice to see this get posted!
I think that "More anonymous" must have been thinking of apple *empanada*, which apparently Taco Bell sells. A quick web search shows it contains an alarming amount of fat and sugar:

You could make empanadas at home with a mono-saturate fat like olive or canola oil brushed on filo pastry, and get the added bonus of baked apple and cinnamon wafting through the house. And you could eat fresh apples from this year's harvest. Why not make a pie while you are at it? Mmmm, pie.

Nice to see fellow bikers taking a break once in a while. It's not all ride, ride, ride. Gotta stop and smell the roses once in a while..
Stopping is part of the allure of biking. Love the pose.
What a queer looking guy
"Esplanade" is that interval between the time Ricky gets home and finally gets to the bottom of shenanigans Lucy has been up to today.
