The last full day of our trip was in Portland, OR. We took the offered bus tour of Portland. It is a lovely city, but the highlight of the trip was the stop in the Portland Rose Garden. It was a chilly overcast day, but that actually made for better flower photography. Late October is definitely not the peak of the rose-blooming season, but there were enough lovely blooms to keep us looking for a while.

To digress from our trip: On first reading, the Chattanooga City Commission has passed (5-4) an ordinance that would give benefits to the "domestic partners" of city employees. This would make Chattanooga the third city in Tennessee (after Collegedale and Knoxville) to give equal rights to the domestic partners of employees. The commissioner from our district was one of those voting "for". We're so proud of them!

One of my favorite places when we visited Portland was the Rose Garden. (Not to mention the view from there.)
My husband sat on a bench and smoked while I walked all over the garden. "Just let me know when you're done." Such a party-pooper, when he was only 65.
