Peninsula Park in NE Portland, just a short walk from my sister's home. Gorgeous rose gardens, beautiful fountains, great public playground and pool. As Heather & I were here basking in the sun on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I was hoping Detroit had figured out a way to preserve the Parks & Recreation budget. City parks are so important. Do I even have to explain why? (Nah, probably not.)
Claire, I have been loving your reports from Portland. My dad and stepmother live there but I haven't made it out for a visit yet - sad, I know. (If you observed any grey-haired outdoorsy couples hiking furiously all over the city, it might have been them.) Your posts have made me want to book a ticket immediately!
ReplyDeletePlease keep blogging - you have a wonderful voice and I can't wait to hear about your future adventures in Detroit and beyond. Jess Catrow Whelan
