Ben invited me to ride up to OHSU with him on the aerial tram to walk around campus the other night and we used it as an opportunity to get touristy and take sunset tram photos amongst the doctors discussing lab results and harrowed looking med students. I am terribly afraid of heights and did not have a great time on the tram on the way up. In fact, it hangs from a cable that droops in the center meaning it swings back and forth in a really upsetting way as it jettisons into the sky. No thanks, sir!
The tram delivers people from the Southwest waterfront area downtown, all the way up Marquam Hill, and provides the most gorgeous downtown views, despite the terror. We got to watch the sunset over Mount Hood and took a peek at St. Helens in the distance. It was entirely gorgeous with the fall leaves brightly populating the residential areas below.
To be honest, I spent the entire trip whining about wanting a chocolate cookie and feeling nauseous from the tram ride... that is until I saw someone leaving surgery in the hospital with a catheter draining fluids and barf bag and became entirely intrigued with all things medical and quit whining. The medical world worries and completely captivates me. Lucky I have a central line to it living in my house!
You look great!!

How fun! I've yet to take a tram ride, but it looks like fun. Though, I do get motion sickness so I'm a little hesitant now....maybe some dramamine pre-ride. I have to say, you do such a great job at capturing highlights of the city - sometimes I see things here on the blog that I've never noticed before. So thank you for revealing parts of my city to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look super cute - love you bundled up in that lovely scarf.

ReplyDeleteWow- this looks awsome! My boyfriend is in the middle of his residency and it's fascinating to hear the stories he comes home with.
ReplyDeleteI would've been terrified to go on the tram too so I don't blame you! The views are beautiful though!
