How great it will be, at the end of Vuelta a Iberia, to return to both a beautiful home base *and* a fascinating quest.
5 years agoI’m pretty happy with it myself. I feel grateful to Bruce for unwittingly steering me in this direction. Almost makes me wish we could just stay in Portland and look at the trees, but unfortunately we’ve already bought our tickets for Santiago.
5 years agoYou’re right, on both counts. As lovely as a small French village would be, I’m sure I’d get restless soon. Maybe when I’m older, and if I took up boules.

Look forward to this continuing journey through Portland's great trees.
I love Peninsula Park! Wonderful you got to stop there.

Maybe next time we're all in Portland we can have a picnic at 'KAHN-ah-mockst'.
That’s the vision, alright. I was glad to be able to zoom in on this and learn something new. I’d never heard of a hopper dredge before now.

5 years agoDamn autocorrect. K'unamokwst.
K'unamokwst, I say!
A little Lord-of-the-Rings-ish, if you ask me.
