The Portland Grotto

June 17th

Joe and Pam took me to the Portland Grotto for my birthday outing.  I had been wanting to go and it was a perfect day to check it out!  The Grotto is a shrine and botanical garden on 62 acres just outside downtown Portland.  Entry is free but you have to pay to go up to the gardens via a scary elevator to the top of a 110 foot cliff.  We talked about it for awhile, interviewed some volunteers at the sanctuary and finally decided to go - glad we did!  A really beautiful experience and a great way to spend part of my birthday!!

Then, we went to the food trucks for my very most favorite pork bowl! Yummmmm!
