We just left Willsonville, OR where we spent the weekend. It was good to see our friends, Don and Pat, who graciously toured us around the Portland area. We went to the Arts and Crafts Festival Saturday morning where we enjoyed the sights and sounds of many cultures. I (Sheila) enjoyed a Falafel for lunch which was soooo good. Then off to Multnomah Falls, Columbia River Gorge. We walked up to the bridge close to the fall, enjoyed the beauty and then returned to the car just as it started to rain. Lots of hiking trails but weather not in our favor to enjoy any distance. We could see Mount Hood and Mount St. Helen off in the distance. Lot of snow on both. We woke up Sunday to pouring rain but Don and Pat planned on taking us to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum. Very interesting place. We had our pictures taken in the cockpit of the Spruce Goose. This was a prototype built by Howard Huges in 1947. A huge cargo boat that flew. http://www.evergreenmuseum.org/ . Interesting story. The Imax of the Fighter Pilots was a good show and we were proud to see the Canadian participation. Now (Monday morning) we are heading north again to see what Washington has to offer.
