Kris and I had a wonderful time in Portland. To begin with, once again we were treated to the glories of mountains, deep gorges, and waterfalls cascading down green mountains. You can see what I mean here:
\n $\"100_0658.JPG\"$ <\/a>
\nI\u2019m staring down into the Columbia River Gorge.
\nAnd can\u2019t see diddly-squat \u2026 we always end up in the Pacific NW when it rains and swamps the area with fog. I joke with my Pac NW students that there may not even be mountains out there \u2014 we\u2019ve never seen them.
\nAnd here we are looking at Multnomah Falls. (There\u2019s a top somewhere; I think this falls comes straight down from Zeus on Mt Olympus.)

\nBut, closer up we saw some beautiful natural water falls on our trip from Portland down to the Multnomah Falls. Here\u2019s one:
\n $\"100_0659.JPG\"$ <\/a>
\nActually, that\u2019s stretching the truth. Sunday, on our way back to the airport, Mount Hood was majestic \u2026 sitting there with its white cover.
\nThe nicest thing I saw in Portland? The famous pillar in front of one of the finest book stores in the world: Powell\u2019s. It\u2019s propped me up for years.

\nTony, what do you think of those sneakers? (Nikes!) These sweat pants are on only about 7 days a week. I got a second pair for when these are in the wash.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
