Notes: The team arrived in Portland, Oregon, today, and each had to listen to Nancy go on and on about how she used to live here, and if you look to your left you can see her old apartment at McCormick Piers, and how she knows of a good pizza joint and a great Jewish delicatessen, blah, blah, blah.
We actually went back north to Seattle to shoot a quick interview for KOMO, the ABC affiliate there, before heading south to Portland. Portland is a beautiful city, as cities go, and the team is anticipating two good nights here. Todd has friends in the area, and Nancy’s aunt and uncle are here, so it’s really feeling like we’re getting close to home. See you all soon! | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
