Can it really be? Has it really been seventeen years since my sis J- and B- moved from Portland Maine to Portland Oregon? It seems like only ten or so, but I know it was a lot more than that. Thanks to DownEast, Portland, and Maine magazines and cell phones; she keeps pretty close to 'home'. It was a fun-filled three days on Hood River, with many large windows looking out on wondrous river sights. Lots of music, countless trains running back and forth on both shores, wind surfers, kite surfers, barge watching and of course the 4th's fireworks kept me busy. It was vacation, after all.

Glad to hear you had a fantastic holiday Birdman, sounds like you and your Sister are pretty close, so it would have been fun catching up and spending time together.
ReplyDeleteis that the ever elegant and lovely E? sounds like an excellent visit.
ReplyDeleteI love this angle. And your vacation sounds wonderful :-D
ReplyDeleteFrom Portland to Portland....that is quite a move! So glad you enjoyed the trip and the visit.
ReplyDeleteThat really is a big move. Love the angle of this shot too.
ReplyDeleteOh I know, time passes way too quickly! Your trip sounds great, I love Oregon!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that they moved from Portland to Portland. I bet there are huge differences...but many similarities between the two.
ReplyDeleteNice angle on this photo. Glad you had a nice trip!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a wonderful visit with a sibling! I am wondering... did she take a wrong flight, get confused, and just decide to stay in the other Portland?
ReplyDeleteBises,

From Port to Port, glad you had a nice vacation.
ReplyDeleteOh Bird, what a wonderful shot. How did you do it? Glad you are having fun with the fam.

I'll take the copy of Smithsonian, please. Not Outside. I'm as white as they make 'em and don't spend much time in the sun.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Birdman. I like the shot from above. There must be a stairwell or loft there. The Portland to Portland thing is a hoot. At least when you visit them, you can keep the "I never leave Portland" thing intact.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list sof activities, which looks like it was well-planned based upon all those brochures.
ReplyDeleteHey, speaking of trains, if you heard a steam engine on Sunday, I was on that train! See today's post. I'm so glad you had such a great time!
ReplyDeleteI think you're having a swell vacation!
