The Road to Portland

The drive to Portland was uneventful except for Bill leaving his watch in the hotel. When he told me this we were already a ways away from Astoria so I called the Hotel. The front desk woman said housekeeping found the watch and they would put it in the mail to my house. Good thing I made it a point to tip the housekeeper! She more than likely would have returned it anyway but nothing like what the Japanese call "The Fragrant Grease" to help a man's cause along.

It was a pretty drive along a two lane highway. We made it in about 2 hours.
