First Full Day Portand
Thursday, August 24, 2017, 06:00 PM
We had our breakfast in the condo previously purchased in Safeway across the street - shredded wheat, milk and banana. We then walked to the street car line and purchased a one day pass on the TriMet system which includes bus, streetcar and light rail. We took the #20 bus to the Rose Garden after briefly stopping in to Powell's Books.We went into the wrong end of the garden and climbed forever and then many hundreds of feet of walking. The Rose Garden was totally worth it . There were more varieties than i have ever seen, it was so beautiful and there were so many varieties and all of them were in bloom. What a spectacular site. I made note of one couple on a bench doing some heavy making out. She was holding on to his erection and he was massaging her breasts and had a hand under her skirt working away while her head was back oblivious to the world. After walking for ours we grabbed a water from the snack truck there. Eventually we bought some trail mix and rode the shuttle all around the park. Next we went to the Japanese Garden which had an admission charge of $13 for seniors. It was totally worth it. The garden was so beautiful. Every turn in the path was a joy to behold. When it was over we rode the shuttle down to the MAx and took the train to the Library stop at 11th and then took the streetcar up to Jefferson and 11th which is where our Condo is. We stopped into the Safeway and bought a bottle of wine, some cheese and a box of triscuits for our afternoon wine and cheese. Tonight for dinner we went to Thai Chili Jam which was 2 blocks from our condo. I had nice sweet sour stir fry with chicken which was outstanding. Libbie had Scallops Pad Thai but she said hers was too hot. We both asked for Medium heat. We each had a glass of wine with dinner |
