Day Three of Adventures in Paradise!

Once again we were treated to a great breakfast by Mary and Ed.  After that, we picked up Mary's Aunt Lilly and we all went to mass at The Grotto in Portland, Oregon.  The Grotto was a wonderful place nestled in the beautiful scenery of mountains and fir trees.  Next, we headed back to Mary and Ed's house and we were treated to a dinner of BBQ salmon, lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), and pancit (Filopino stir-fried noodles).  After dinner, we lounged around watching movies, and after we dropped Lilly back at her assisted living house, Mary, Ed, myself, and mom talked a little more and headed to bed in preparation for tomorrow's early flight to Hawaii.  Coming Up on Day Four:  Honolulu, Hawaii!
