As promised, there is to be another “unofficial” event on September 8th — To the Portland Japanese Garden and . . . . .

The Portland Japanese Garden is proclaimed to be the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan. It consists of five gardens on 5.5 acres in the west hills of Portland.
The plan is to meet at the home of Gladys H at 9:30. Rather than taking the Max (as originally planned) participants will then carpool to the gardens.
There is a 45 minute tour beginning at 10:45 for those who wish to join that. One can join/leave the tour at any point.

Time permitting, the group will then visit the Washington Park Rose Garden before returning to the east side to have lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant.

Links to the gardens are posted among the links on the right side of this page.
