Day Thirtyseven.

This was my last full day in Portland. Out, with Nic for breakfast, a different diner this time, and even at 10 am we had to queue to get a table. For a change I had breakfast burritos, peppers, eggs, chorizo sausage all wrapped up in tortillas. We then headed into the hills above Portland. The first part of our walk was through Washington Park, a wooded area close to the city. Inside its boundaries are two reservoirs supplying the city with drinking water. There is also a large rose garden which would be a magnificent sight in summer. There were great views of the city from all parts of the park. We then continued up the hill for a bit of urban tramping as Nic calls it. A very posh area with many large houses surrounded by trees. Snow was still hanging around. We'd seen it from the city the day before and commented how elevation made a difference, thick snow on the hill, no snow down in the city.
We went back to the flat until a phone call got us out to a pub for a few games of pool. The superbowl was being shown on TVs in the bar so we had no trouble getting a table. A couple of pints, a couple of Nic's mates and a few games of pool made for a great way to finish off my visit to the USA. And the underdogs won the football.
Dinner was Japanese and very tasty.
