Oregon

I just got back from Portland. It was a really great trip. The main reason for going was to see the Grotto.

It didn't occur to me that it had been well over 14 years since I was last there, but each time you go it's a visit you can never forget. Every part of this place...so breathtaking, warm, welcoming, meditative, peaceful...all of the above that is good! And memorable...so so memorable. This place is timeless. It hasn't changed. It's been enhanced. It continues to enhance and expand its breathtaking beauty. <----Do you think I'm exaggerating? This is all an understatement.

I don't care what you believe, where your faith lies...the Grotto is well worth your travel. Especially the upper level...it doesn't matter how many people there are....you will always feel like you were meant to go on the day that you're there with purpose and peaceful feeling...

and on a side note, there's an awesome place for dessert and dinner. ;-) Papa Haydn is the place to be. :-D
