WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Portland, Oregon: The Grotto

8840 NE Skidmore Street, Portland, Oregon 

The Grotto is a Roman Catholic retreat and education center in the North-Eastern Section of Portland. In the winter it is known for wonderful Christmas lights and in the summer it is a nice place to walk among the trees and meditate. There is an elevator that takes you to the top of the 110 foot cliff and you can visit the area which allows you to look out toward the Columbia River and Mount St. Helen. It is well worth your time. On the lower level is a church that has regular special music presentations, a shop, and place to purchase food. If you have time in Portland, this is worth the time.
