Almost home!

We're in Portland tonight and then home to sleep in our own bed tomorrow. Always a great feeling. It was sunny and clear through the mountain passes yesterday and today. We really enjoyed being in Ashland again and seeing a play albeit "The Winter's Tale" isn't great especially the first half but the theatre company here is so excellent anything is enjoyable.

We stopped off at the U. of Oregon in Eugene for old times sake and had lunch in the pub by the university where Jim learned he was going to become a father...then he ordered a double!!! (not really...) and visited our favourite bookstore.

Read in the paper that Palm Springs hit 50 F the other day....brrr...cold all over I guess. I think they're back to decent weather now. We've been lucky. Had good weather on the coast and left just as it was getting poor. I think we crossed paths with the storm and seemed to miss it.

See everyone soon!
