Tuesday: Glendale to Portland

 

Cool light fixture in the hotel.

California Live Oak.  

We found these seeds everywhere and did not know what they were.  I hope that I am correct. 

A mural on the church wall across the street from the hotel.

We had breakfast at the hotel and had plenty of time to get packed up.  We left at 9 am to go to the airport.  We had quite the hassle returning the rental car.  The signage was not very clear.  We got on the wrong floor for returning the car so we had to make the whole loop again.  They told us to stay left instead of right. That was what we did.  Argh, wrong again!  First, stay right then stay left.  The third time we got to the correct floor. Luckily we had allowed extra time.  We got to our gate with about 10 minutes to spare.  

It was cloudy and rainy in Glendale when we left. 

Sunny in Portland.  Though it definitely was chilly.  

We got on the MAX.  Nathan got off at the Goose Hollow stop right by his apartment and then we went to the Beaverton Transit Center where Joyce was waiting for us.  She gave us a ride home which was very nice.  

The cats were wondering who we were.  ;-)  We sure had a great time seeing Jamie, Pam, Sharon, Michael, Ella, and Nicole.
