Portland

We flew to Portland for Thanksgiving with family. Our daughter-in-law spent an entire day (honest) preparing a wonderful meal. While my idea of good weather does not mix well with Portland from November to March we were blessed to be in that part of the country. It is nice to be able to walk four blocks and get a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich, walk four blocks to get to the New Seasons organic food store, walk four blocks and get on the mass transportation to ride downtown. We explored Powell's, snowshoed, ate breakfast at Mother's Bistro, and visited the Saturday market where we heard Boka Marimba. Boka plays music in the Shona people tradition and they were outstanding. Hopefully I will get a picture or two from our son to post in the near future.
No issues traveling, no body scans, etc. but every flight is packed.
