Gluten Free In Portland, Oregon: An Overnight

And now we'll take a quick break from the Gluten Free In New Zealand posts!

But first, I must apologize for the quality of the pictures for this trip, I forgot the good camera, so iPhone photos will have to do! Second, this will be a short post with not a whole lot of new information because I was just on a short overnight jaunt down to Portland. I had grand dreams of trying out some new places, but defaulted to some old favorites for comfort purposes. In fact, the only new place in Portland I visited was a chain!

Gluten Free In and Around Wellington, New Zealand

After conquering the Crossing we drove down to Wellington to spend the night before taking the ferry to the South Island to continue our adventure. During the brief time we spent in the area, we realized that we wished we had more time. Wellington was a beautiful city and getting there via the Kapti Coast was such a beautiful route to take. Hopefully we'll go back some day and spend more time in the region.

Gluten Free In Waitomo, New Zealand

Our next stop on our journey was Waitomo to take the Black Abyss tour of the Ruakuri Cave (yup, that's me repelling into it in the picture above!). The drive to Waitomo from Auckland was very beautiful and quite green. We even took a small detour out to the coast to visit the black sand beaches near Raglan.

Gluten Free In and Around Auckland, New Zealand

We really spent most of our time in Auckland outside of the city in the surrounding area and on the islands. This also meant that we took snacks with us everywhere we went since we didn't know what, if any, safe places to eat we would find.

Gluten Free In Auckland, New Zealand

Our first stop on our adventure was Auckland, the most populous city in the whole country, which is located on the north half of the North Island. I spent a bit over a week here back in 2005 so I had some familiarity with the layout of the city. Some of the highlights were our day trips to Devonport to explore the tunnels around North Head, hiking Rangitoto, and cruising around Waiheke Island in a convertible.

Gluten Free In Seattle, Washington: Organic in the University District

Before I get in to the rest of this post I have to write something about the amazing smoothy that is pictured above. It's called Chocolate Cherry and it's just about one of the best things I have ever tasted. It's a blend of bananas, cherries, raw cacao, and vanilla hemp milk and tasted so much like a chocolate milk shake that I wanted to jump up and down a whole lot.

Gluten Free in San Rafael, California: The Return Trip

I've posted about Sol Food before in 2009, but I haven't been back since we moved to Washington State. So this time when we went back to California for the holidays we made a special trip back there with our new fancy camera to eat some amazing food and take much nicer pictures.

Gluten Free In Anchorage, Alaska

This is another long overdue post, but I'm finally getting around to it. Surprisingly, Anchorage was not the most difficult place to travel to while being gluten free. I was able to find a number of places that were understanding and receptive, I ended up using my travel cards a lot here and that worked very well.

Gluten Free In Seattle, Washington: Tea in Ballard

Miro Tea in the downtown Ballard neighborhood, not only has delicious cups of tea, but also gluten free crepes! And they can also use rice milk instead of regular cows milk to make them! I got the "Lemon Pop" crepe (pictured above) which was basically lemon, poppy seeds, and butter mixed together and then coated with powdered sugar.

Gluten Free In Austin, Texas

Austin was the first out of state trip I had taken since going gluten free, so this post is almost a year overdue and my descriptions may be a bit vague. But I have to say, we found quite a few gluten free friendly spots while we were there. Probably the neatest part was the plethora of places that actually had real corn tortillas that didn't have any added gluten in them, these seems to be a hard find outside of Texas.
