(^16) Oregon (2)
Vancouver – Portland - 60 km
Vicki, a 365-project friend who lived in Portland then, invited me to
visit. Packing up was at leisure, as the ride to their house was only a
short distance. Vancouver's Old Fort begged to be explored, and
afterwards, I looked for a bike path across the Colombia River.
The weather was glorious, and the bike path next to the river was
jam-packed with cyclists. A stop at Blue Lake Park, a large scenic
area, was a great place to eat my takeaway. People were out and
about, kids were swimming, and all enjoyed the excellent summer
weather.
Locating John and Vicki's place was uncomplicated, and these
fantastic people treated me like royalty. They didn't simply offer me a
bed but treated me to supper at a floating restaurant. Then, at home,
we chatted nonstop while my laundry was done. How awesome is
that?
