The last weekend of April was C's birthday, so it was time to go ghost hunting. We went to the Bizarre Portland tour and it was so much fun! We met the tour guide at a well known haunted popular restaurant downtown Portland. We were taken down into the basement where we were given the story about the haunting that has been recorded. Nina, (pronounced NINE-a) was a local prostitute working in the saloon. She "fell" down the elevator shaft (C, if this isn't right, please help with the story) and her body moved to the middle of the basement and left to die. Apparently Nina still roams the basement. We each were given EMF detectors (electro magnetic meter) and told to walk through the basement to see if we get a reading. Yes, many of us did w/out reason - meaning there weren't any electric currents running through the area (plugs, wires, outlets). Did we conclusively find Nina? No. But that was fun.
We then went across town to an old hotel (still working hotel) that is apparently known for hauntings as well, but this wasn't as fun. I think b/c we were in a dark dirt floor basement and now we were in a well lit hotel above a loud bar. Not really a "mood" for ghost hunting. No one really found anything at this place.
While waiting for the MAX train on our way back to our original destination, our tour guide asked if anyone would like their Tarot cards read. I've never had mine done, so I volunteered. INTERESTING, I can't remember the exact "people" I had, but I do know that C also had her's read and we both drew the same future card. VERY INTERESTING!! Neither one of us knows what it means, but we're quite curious.
The next weekend, we decided to head into Portland and go to Saturday market and Nobb Hill shops. Fun day on a warm sunny day. It was the trip home which was harrowing!! We jumped on the I5 and hit a wall of traffic, so we decided to head over to 205 and take that home, but WHAMMO traffic!! By this time, I had to pee, so we stopped at a gas station on Sandy Blvd. During that time, traffic didn't move so much, so we decided to head down to Airport Way and see if that may be faster. 2.5 hours later, we made it back onto WA soil. We were tired, hungry and both had to pee now!! Here are photo's....
Prior to traffic jam.
About 1.5 hours sitting in traffic - it's made us crazy!
