Today we got up at 4:45am and left Fargo. There were no problems today! We got here at 9:30am Pacific Time. When we arrived at PDX (Portland Airport), we used our food vouchers from the airline (one good thing from the mishap yesterday) to buy $30 worth of snacks. I know, it sounds like a lot of money for snacks, but remember they were being purchased at an airport.
After eating a quick sandwich we rolled our luggage and bags of snacks onto the light rail and took that to our hotel in Downtown Portland. It's a very elegant hotel that is over 100 years old.
We then decided to walk to the International Rose Test Gardens and Japanese garden. That took us about 45 minutes to walk there and 45 more to walk back. But it was worth it! Now we're tired and hungry. Kelsey wants in-room dining because she's too tired to take an elevator straight down to the restaurant.
Pictures follow...
Beautiful roses in the Portland International Rose Test Gardens!
Some hot woman I took a picture of in front of pretty flowers
The beginning of Washington Park...what a site after a long, uphill walk from the hotel!
We thought this area was pretty on our long uphill walk to the park. And we needed a water break.
Some hot guy Kelsey took a picture of. I was going to delete it because I was offended but then I agreed that, "wow, he sure is hot!" Check out those calf muscles!
Standing next to a fountain while nature has its own fountain going. There was a used pack of Marloboros in the fountain. I thought that was classy.
A scenic pond at the Japanese garden.
This rose was named "Playboy." No, really, we only read the sign. We didn't look at the rose itself...
Kelsey entering a portion of the Japanese garden. Notice how excited she looks. PLANTS!!!
Wayyyy hotter than the "Playboy Rose"
Stay tuned for more!
