Hotel Modera

Let’s wrap up Portland week with a look at the lobby of the hotel we stayed at, the Hotel Modera. The hotel was very nice. It was clean and extremely quiet. I can’t remember the last time I’ve stayed somewhere in which I never heard a peep once inside my room. We never heard anything from neighbors, traffic, etc. It probably helped that we were on the top floor in a corner room, but it may be the same in all the rooms.

The room was something like $130 a night. Parking was $20 a night. We only pulled the car out once in three days as you can get to most things on the nearby, free street car system and then not have to worry about parking once you get to your destination.

Tomorrow we’ll return this blog to Ashland.

The USS Blueback (SS-581)

I took the above photograph from inside OMSI. The submarine is the USS Blueback. We took a tour of it many years ago when visiting OMSI so we didn’t feel the need to explore its insides this go around. The Hawthorne Bridge also makes an appearance in today’s picture.

Electric car charging station

On our way into OMSI we noticed two charging station parking spaces. The last time I saw one of these was at Costco in San Jose, California in the 1990s. Never once was a car charging itself in those prime parking places at Costco. However, on our way out of OMSI we did see the above car charging.

OMSI

OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) is a great place to spend the day. See my other post for a tip on how to get in for free.

Pioneer Place

We loved the free, Portland street car system. We could hop on and off anywhere. When it’s raining a popular place to jump off is Pioneer Place. I’m not into frou-frou shopping myself, but a book on the upper level with this view isn’t a bad way to burn an hour while those in your party do their thing.
