Well, the trip with Jan is almost over.
We made our way up the Oregon coast to Astoria then left 101, heading east on 30, drove past Clatskanie, where I’ll be returning tomorrow, and on into Portland.
As has been the case for this whole trip we’ve not contacted friends in the area, choosing instead to spend our time together. I’ve felt small tinges about this decision, but mostly have been so grateful to have time to just be with Jan. Haven’t had time together like this in years…
And what a place to do it. The Pacific Northwest is flat out amazing beautiful.
Now we’re ensconced in Portland, and have few plans. A visit to Powell’s, of course. A walk around the city’s small Chinatown, probably. I do love slipping into the Chinese gardens.
Otherwise we’ll probably just follow our noses.
There’s certainly enough here to occupy us…
Do love Portland!
