Alaska Cruise (revisited)

Glaciers

This is our 2005 Cruise with Holland America Line, it starts from Vancouver BC for a week, we had a blast but the feeling is "I have seen Alaska, but I have never been to Alaska" so in 2006 we drove to Alaska.

Promontory, Utah (revisited from 2004 trip)

The reenactment of May 10th, 1869

I love train, there's not doubt about it, maybe I was a train engineer in my previous life. This is the transcontinental railroad, for the first time in US History, you can go from east to west.

Inside Pine Street Market

On a sunny Saturday, we venture to downtown Portland to check the new happening - The Pine Street Market, this concept has been done before in larger metropolitan such as Toronto and Seattle.

The Grotto

A place of solitude, peace and prayer

We always come here for prayers and some peaceful time, we like this place so much, but I have not been in this place during Christmas time where they strung thousands of lights.

Cooper Mountain Nature Park

Cooper Mountain Nature Park

On the second warmest day of this year so far, I asked Pokie to drive me here, just to check if the trail is good enough for the wheelchairs? Upon inspection, I concluded that it will be rough to go on this trail, except when you have a power scooter.

Powerhouse Park & Rose Garden

The lake at the Powerhouse Park

I know so many trails and parks due to my association with Viva Village, an independent retirement living arrangement which will be available by the end of this year. I am just helping in taking photographs for their monthly walk. This must be the shortest one so far.

Greenway - Fanno Creek Trail

Greenway - Fanno Creek Trail

When the threat of rain was in the afternoon, I dragged Pokie that morning to take me to this trail, I walked for two miles while taking pictures, I feel very good that day, but I have to come back to the hospital the next day. My hematoma came back.

Dear God Almighty, I pray and hope that no more hematoma. Thank you Lord.
