New Jersey to Portland

Rich and I traveled in Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador without getting sick or having problems with the food or water. We return to the United States and in less than a week we get sick. Granted we were visiting Jesse and he had a cold but it is interesting. Jesse had just started a new in Connecticut and a whole new germ pool. Anyway, we have sniffles and a hacking cough but we seem to be close to the end of it.

Before we left New Jersey, we had dinner with Rich's cousin, Alyce, her husband, Michael, and their daughter, Megan. Last year we had spent time with Alyce in Ocean City.  We also visited with Wilda and Jim Conor in Ocean City and had dinner with Jim and Jeanne. Due to our colds we did not visit anyone less that we had planned to.

Saturday we flew to Portland, via Minneapolis. We tried hard not to infect the rest of the passengers. Both flights were full but we lucked out and had an empty seat next to us on the flight from Minneapolis. Sarah picked us up at the airport and delivered us to our hotel. She has been kind enough to schlep us around Portland so we may do some shopping. There are just something that you can't buy very easily in Central America.

Tomorrow we will take the train to Vancouver, BC, Canada.
