ok. well, blogging has become more difficult in the face of valet parking. herb and i gave our car to the valet (we got a 50% discount for driving a hybrid) and i left my picture uploading equipment in the car. so, i got some cute portland pics today but can't transfer them.
portland is great though. it seems to mostly be a series of very vibrant, cute neighborhoods. all of them have brewpubs and wine bars. in the distance are tree and house covered mountains. and we got, surprisingly, sunny skies!!!!! herb and i walked around the town-and it does feel like a town. we ate last night at jake's famous crawfish, which we learned about from my mom. tonight we ate at a decent little italian place. traveling is catching up with us a little though. it's tiring. and tomorrow we start another three day stretch where we travel every day.
i would certainly suggest a visit to portland for anyone who is in the area. although there aren't a lot of attractions per se, there are endless great people watching venues, good food, outdoor activities and a generally laid back attitude.
i'm off to watch a little olympics before tomorrow we are off to a motel near crater lake. i got a nice picture today of herb in a brew pub and of the laughing planet cafe which is only in bloomington and oregon. will (hopefully) post them tomorrow along with some crater lake pics.
by the way, i met two nurses today and got to advise them on fun glacier hikes. i realized again how much fun this trip is and how much i want to go back to glacier national park!!!!!
