While in Portland area, we visited Anita's aunt Marcella, the sister of Anita's mother. A. Marcella lives in her own home in Beaverton, a west Portland suburb, and has traveled the world. We enjoyed talking about her travels, our travels, her family, and sharing pictures. We were joined for dinner by her sons Mike and Fr. Pat.
Sunday we attended Mass at Fr. Pat's parish church, St. Anthony of Padua, in east Portland.
After breakfast at the local I-Hop, Fr. Pat returned to his office to prepare for his regular Sunday delivery of Communion to parish shut-ins, which he does on his bicycle.
We also spent a great day with Anita's niece, Andrea and his husband Chris. They showed us the very interesting, outdoor Saturday Market in downtown Portland. We had a breakfast at a downtown Portland cafe they knew about. It's the kind of great local place that travelers like us would never find without help from knowledgeable locals!
