We had a wonderful outing today. After checking the road reports to make sure there was no snow, we drove out to Beaverton, where we found cobalt blue water glasses in our price range for the restaurant. We ordered 40; I think we should have ordered 80. Then, in the course of shopping for groceries, we heard that there is, indeed, a decent deli in Portland. We found the place, and had a very good lunch. Then we hit a couple of ethnic markets before making our way home. Fun, fun, fun. We got hit by a flurry of wet snow on our way home, but it didn't stick.

For the record, Portland is breathtaking in the fall.
