||||
August, 2005: As part of Ben and Kim's University graduation, the physician's assistant school rented the Portland Spirit for the afternoon. This tour | ||||
boat cruised the Willamette River through Portland, Oregon and served a great lunch while cruising. The weather was perfect and the views (for this mountain boy) were spectacular. What I saw were "mountains" of office buildings where much commerce must be happening. | ||||

as sporting and entertainment events. The submarine is parked at OMSI , Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. I had to photograph the |

V-8 engines), only need 3" of water. In this case, a wide spot in the river serves as a "play pool" for giving the passengers a thrill ride. It also serves to wet them down on a hot day. Be sure to pass your mouse through the second jetboat photo to see what I mean. | ||||
