On the 24th we flew from Jacksonville’s very nice airport to Portland, Oregon’s very nice airport and were whisked from there to a penthouse condo in the city center. We went to visit folks who have been friends for nearly three decades starting with Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, VA. Besides our very gracious hosts we went to see Portland and came away convinced we might just spend a big part of the next hurricane season in the Pacific Northwest. The gallery shows why we might have come to that conclusion. Click first pic for gallery.
