Did Seattle in my last blog post.....but I noticed that I failed to mentioned that I saw another Frank Gehry masterpiece. It is a very contemporary design, naturally, this one very colorful. Bright colors that can be seen from many parts of the city. It is right in the heart of Seattle's cultural center and near the Space Needle.
Then had a nice drive down to Portland, OR, and I had a lovely dinner and time with my old college roommate from my freshman year. That is most assuredly a bit of time ago. We had a great time catching up and sharing life/career experiences as well as remembering old times, our favorite classmates and faculty (were there any of the latter?).
The last two days have been spent on the Oregon Coast in a town called Florence, and many points all around. It is just lovely, and very much as I remembered it from the time that my family traveled through here when I was seven. Much is new or newer, of course, but those kinds of details I wouldn't remember from earlier anyway. Today was a sunny day, about 65 degrees, but very windy, which made it feel like somewhere in the 40's. The wind is too strong to even put out the awnings on the coach.
Tomorrow is a stop in Grants Pass with a side trip to Medford and Ashland....home of their Shakespeare Festival and I think the Oregon Bach Festival also. Then the California Redwoods and a straight trip back home. I expect to be there by Sunday, the 18th. Those will be longer driving days than I have grown accustomed to. But, oh well.
Hope all is well with you all.
