Portland

When I suggested going to Portland for the wedding of my partner's daughter, my husband lovingly agreed:"As you wish." I knew he really wasn't excited about going to Portland, much less a wedding, but we both needed an excuse to get away for the weekend.

Little did he know that Portland was just a sprint away from the home of NIKE, an hour from the ocean, an hour from the mountains and just minutes from sidewalk cafes, waterfalls, rivers, gorges, glaciers, fine dining, Fifth Avenue shopping,and of course, extraordinary people watching. Steve was even impressed with the coffee :)

We couldn't do it all, but we sure tried. (We'll be back.)

The wedding was elegant, simple yet sophisticated and just a whole lotta fun.

We especially enjoyed the company of Peter and Virginia from Austria. (Virginia is my partner's sister.) At the reception, they treated everyone to a Vienna waltz. Now we need to brush up on the waltz as well as the opera.......Peter and Virginia insist on taking all their guests to the opera in Vienna and you can be assured that we have every intention of being their guests!!!

Until then, something seems to be calling us back home...........
