Afternoon Tea in Longview, Washington

I had Afternoon Tea at The Brits in Longview, Washington.  It was the strangest Afternoon Tea that I have ever had.  The bottom plate had two long pieces of white cheese, large carrot stick, large celery stick, sliced hard-boiled egg, two tomato wedges, cucumber slice, two black olives, two apple slices and two orange slices.  The middle plate had a mini ham and white cheese pizza cut into four slices, a herbed puff, a mini cucumber and cream cheese sandwich and four sausage rolls.  The top plate had a large marionberry scone already cut in half, some soft butter, a mini chocolate cake, a mini cream puff and three mini almond roca bars.  I also had Earl Grey tea.

GPS Adventure at the The Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum

I went to The Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, an aviation  museum in McMinneville, Oregon, which displays a number of military and civilian aircraft, most notably, the Hughes H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose".   I went to the museum primarily to visit the GPS Adventure Maze.   My Treasure City was Yellowknife.  After doing the maze and looking at some of the military and civilian aircraft, I had lunch at the museum cafe, took the 1:30 guided tour, had a double scoop of ice cream and walked over the spacecraft museum.  I was the most impressed with the section of the Berlin Wall.  It was an interesting day.

"A Thousand Clowns", Tuesday, October 2, 2012

On Tuesday morning, October 2nd, I attended a 1962 American play, "A Thousand Clowns", by Herb Gardner.  The play was the October reading for the Portland Civic Theatre Guild's First Tuesday Readers Theatre.  A Thousand Clowns tells the story of a young boy who lives with his eccentric uncle Murray, who is forced to conform to society in order to keep custody of the boy.  The play was read at the Old Church at 1422 SW 11^th (at Clay) in downtown Portland. Tickets were $8.00 and included coffee and light refreshments at 10:00 am followed by the reading at 10:30.
