Bike Temple field trip to THE GROTTO, a 62 acre site and gardens dedicated to Saint Mary. We met at Elevated Coffee, got baptized in a short shower at the beginning of the ride, attended Mass, saw life like Mary(whoa check out her toes), asked for more wishes in the wishing well, communed on brunchy-lunch (included one nut cup), bought our $4 elevator tokens, rode the elevator twice, just to hear "the message", enjoyed tons of art, sculpture, chapel, peace & rose garden, labyrinth, meditated in giant sofa-chairs, checked out "the mysteries", and oh so much more. Great group, lots of laughs, but also many of us did find peace and hope while we wondered the really beautiful garden spaces on and off rainy day in early fall. Post grotto we played around in the controversial BMX holy grounds (sorry no pics from me), and then the last few of us biked home, some of us biking Skidmore the entire way from Butte to Bluff (Thanks Ted for the clever name!)
The Pittock Mansion was built between 1909 and 1914 in Portland's west hills for Henry Pittock, the owner of the Oregonian.
The 22-room estate, which includes separate bedrooms and bathrooms for Henry and his wife Georgiana, was constructed of Tenino sandstone.
The house is located on 46 acres owned by the city of Portland, which bought the property for $225,000 in 1964.

Even though we landed in a freezing fog, we still made much of the first day in Portland, visiting locally eateries, The Portland Japanese Gardens, and Multnomah Falls.
