We left the hot primordial soup-like environment of Washington,DC (temp 106 degrees, 99.9 percent humidity) and arrived in cool, crisp, clear Portland. Apparently it was Portland's first sunny clear day in months - so it was extra festive. The prior day, everyone he met told Bob they were going to move because they hadn't seen the sun in so long. Between cooling waterfalls, the Columbia Gorge, snow on the mountains, fields of wildflowers in bloom and a shop called "Voodoo Doughnuts" this town seems like a winner. Today we are off to the Rose Gardens, the Saturday Market and by then it will be 9 a.m. and we will start the day :) (an inside joke for anyone who knows the frenetic pace at which Bob travels).
