Merry Christmas folks!

Thank you Jesus for a great year. Have my struggles of ups and downs but the Lord Jesus came through all the way.  Happy Jesus day folks!

 

 

 

 




Honolulu City Lights 2018! Take care for now folks.

Thank God for a good and final day in Portland, Oregon December 1-2, 2018 Multnomah Falls, Pittock Mansion, and Portland Japanese Garden!

More free food! Thank you Jesus!

Multnomah Falls

 

 

 

It's been 8 years since I've seen the falls! This time me and Gary just did the lower portion of the falls. We never made it to the top since Gary was feeling under the weather.  It was all good since Gary had a flight to catch later on.

Pittock Mansion

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello? Anybody hoooome?

Me and Gary did the tour.  It is the home to Henry and Georgiana Pittock. The home was damaged by a storm in the 60's, so majority of the house is re-decorated and restored by the city of Portland. The house is very nice and you also get to see a wide view of the city of Portland.

Thank God for a good day in Portland, Oregon November 31, 2018 Cannon Beach!

Portland Day 2!

More free food!

Cannon Beach/Haystack Rock

 

 

 

 

Very good weather! Thank you Jesus! Nice beach, had a good turnout as well.

More pics!

 

 

I love this place. Wouldn't mind being here again maybe to hike the different areas next time. Waves are fairly strong so be careful. Really serene and nice alternative to Portland.  Btw, Cannon beach is roughly a 1 1/2 hr drive from Portland. Also, this place supposedly is famous for being the backdrop to the movie Goonies (1985).

Thank God for a good day (s) in Portland, Oregon November 29-30th, 2018 Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trailblazers

Hola peeps! I decided to get free from work and take a quick trip to Trailblazer nation- Portland, Oregon! Let's get started!

November 29th, 2018

I arrived here in Portland during the late evening. I did a 3 day night shift and as you guess, I was super tired by the time I got to my hotel which was in Hayden Island. Holiday Inn Express and suites was my hotel. It has a nice location and it's a good hotel with friendly staff.

Free breakfast all you can eat in the hotel!

Treehouse

Ecobaby Gear

 

Hk Cafe

I traveled to Southeast Portland side to buy gifts for my nephew and eat! Large Asian population in the southeast side. I had a craving for dim sum anyway. Pretty good dim sum.

It was early afternoon so I decided to go back into town and hike (was also a rainy day for the most part):

Lower Macleay trail/Wildwood trail

 

 

 

 

Witch's Castle

 

 This was an attempted hike to the Pittock mansion. I was unable to finish the hike. Roughly about close to 3 hrs I still did not finish and I had to head back into town so I could pick my friend Gary up and watch the Trailblazers game; Portland traffic is horrendous during late afternoon. Nice hike still though I felt awkward in how the trail progresses. Sometimes you go left, then right, then down, and up. I can't really explain it but it did feel uneven at times.


*Update: 2/17/20 Just found out the remains of that house is none other than Witch's castle. *


Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trailblazers

 

 

 

 

We were late as the first quarter was nearly ending. Portland had to rally towards the end only to lose by one point. This was a nice experience but this is the 2nd time I've seen a Trailblazers game only to see them lose (again). I can't wait to see a game where they win. Next time I guess. Anyhow, that ended my adventure for the day. See you next time and Jesus loves you.
