The Rose City



I wish they had this sign in Petaluma! 
Portland, Oregon also known as the Rose City lives up to its reputation  of an awesome place be.  Portland is called the Rose City for several reasons but largely because it is home to the oldest rose test garden in the United States. Click here to read more. We spent Sterling's Birthday in this magnificent plethora of roses     sniffing until our stomaches hurts!
  Portland is full of: bicyclist, bridges, beer, food carts, water fountains, mustaches, ethnic food, and brew-n-views. The brew-n
views where among our favorite activities where you can watch cheap movies on couches while drinking beer, ah yes! Fantastic cheap food carts are like veins of silver through the city.  No wonder young people go to Portland to retire!

  2. Dear Erika, Sterling and Clovey:

    Loved the pictures of Portland's Rose Garden; it's such an amazing place. Rick and I spent some time there a few years back when we went to his nephew's wedding.

    I bet Clovey loved the flowers too! Your photos are really excellent.
    Please keep sending them.

    Love BB.
