A trip to the Pacific North West
A trip to the Pacific North West
De aanleiding
voor deze blog is een ontmoeting met Mike en Ed, twee oude vrienden die mijn
reisgenoot Fred en ik in 1971 hebben ontmoet op Notre Dame University in
de staat Indiana. We bleven elkaar volgen, per brief, e-mail en Skype en we
ontmoetten elkaar ook af en toe. Dit jaar deed zich een gelegenheid voor elkaar
opnieuw te ontmoeten in de Portland in de staat Oregon, de huidige woonplaats
van Ed en zijn vrouw Helen, en Seattle in
de staat Washington waar Mike intussen is gaan wonen.
The reason for this blog is a get together with old friends, Mike and Ed, whom my travel companion Fred and I met first in 1971 at the University of Notre Dame in the state of Indiana. We kept in touch over the years by letters and e-mail, and once in a while we saw each other. Last year an occasion for another meeting appeared after all of us got retired. Ed and his wife Helen moved to Portland in the state of Oregon, while Mike took root again in Seattle, the city of his youth and family.
