Travel Photos 2


In Virginia, I checked out the boardwalk on a rather balmy morning (must be something about my travels and the clouds / rain) and saw this set of closed rides.

Nearby was a church where a statue of Jesus was set on a boat as he fished for his disciples.

Recently went to Portland, Oregon and Virginia Beach, Virginia on business trips and they were both first-time visits for me. Portland, I never realized, was almost as wet as its upper-northwestern neighboring state of Washington but even amid the rain I found a beautiful hoops playground close to the downtown area.



Even though the weather was drab, no trip to Portland would be complete without a shot of a Nike Factory Store. The headquarters is actually in nearby Beaverton (about 13 miles east of downtown) but alas I did not have the time to check the Mother Swoosh out. Nevertheless this Factory Outlet here was bigger than any other branch I had been to in California.
