Columbia River Gorge
... from the coast and complete our tour of this incredible state by spending a few days along the Columbia River Gorge. Driving through Portland (our first big city in a while, and a good reminder of why the smaller towns are really more fun!), we settled ...
Portland Brew

Traumhafte Küste: Von Cape Ann nach Portland

... to see these animals of the Andes in Washington state. Back on I-5 we headed south to I-205 where we ended the day in Portland, Oregon at 8:45pm at the Roadway Inn. We rode a total of only 335 miles today. Miserable mileage all considered, but when ...
Home, but stay tuned
There's some bright sunshine coming in my apartment window to help with the jet lag (at least for a few minutes - the rain clouds are looming) and the magnolia tree has leafed out in my absence. I'm home and on my way to work for awhile, after a little ...

Re-Entry
Returning to the US from NZ gives the time-travel experience, after 27 hours en route, of arriving earlier than departing (at least the departure for the tran-Pacific flight from Auckland where I had a very long layover.) I was fortunate to arrive to ...
Gardens, a Brewery and a bit of Rain
... high and cut parts of it out. The gardens shut at 16:00 so we headed back into town to check out one of Portland's local breweries, Bridgeport Brewpub and Bakery. The Bridgeport Brewery was right by a supermarket so we got some supplies and then headed ...
