May 21-23 Left Arcata for Oregon
Stopped near Ashland at Medford. Toured Ashland, spent night in Motel6--no luck with Priceline.

Headed to Portland and stayed two nights at the Marriott; nice pool and Jacuzzi. Visited downtown Portland and Portland Art Museum--world class; decided I need to learn more print techniques.

Barb, Stan, and I stopped for brunch on way at gorgeous seaside restaurant. Stan cooked paprikash the night before and invited Octavious and Kaheesh.

Scenery just stunning on way to Oregon. Got a $200 speeding ticket. Definite trap, but oh well.

Rental situation has changed so I will head back in June sometime. Tomorrow heading to Walla Walla, WA.
