Hopefully our last day in a long while dealing with heavy city traffic. Our rig took us to Portland, OR where we visited with an old friend, wait, make that a friend of my for many years. We visited Mary and Tom. Mary and I were buddies and lab partners in high school. Since Southold High School we’ve seen each other only a couple of times. I enjoyed meeting her husband Tom while also having them get to know Marsha.
Mary took us to an outdoor Japanese Garden and the Portland City Rose Garden. We had a good time. Afterwards Tom and Mary cooked a great meal which after much debate we enjoyed outside. The inside/outside debate was due to the current heatwave. The temperature hovered in the mid to lower 90’s. Tomorrow the forecast is for it to be a bit higher in Portland while we are headed to central Oregon where the forecast is for temperatures in the low 100’s. Not my cup of tea.
