Travels: Portland from OHSU

On Memorial Day we all took the afternoon off from the office.  Elder J kindly drove us into downtown Portland.  Dear One and I have been too gutless to make that trip via car, though we have made it twice by train.  Well, not where we went this day, but still, downtown.

We made a couple of stops.  This stop was at OHSU hospital, kind of the "top" of Portland.  There is a tram that you can ride up to, and down, from OHSU.  You could not get me on a tram on a bet!  Fortunately, it was closed so no one urged me to "try it"!

It is pretty interesting to look at the city from above.  Also that little hump with clouds at the top about straight in front of you is Mount Hood.  Hidden, as is often the case, but there anyway.

This is the gang way out at the end of a scary patio.  I could not bring myself to go so close to the edge.  On the other hand,  it was interesting to see everyone taking pictures.  There is one more sister there but she is hidden by Dear One in the foreground.

It was a really enjoyable day.  Once we safely came down off the mountain.... The road is narrow and very zigzag-y and the drop-offs nauseating.  To me, at least.  The brakes held...
