Portland Tuesday

Tuesday, 25 March 2014

Wanda came to pick me up at the hotel and we headed out to see what was happening at "Nick's house".  Sure enough, the film crew was there.  They changed a couple things about the exterior of the house.  The child's swing was gone from the porch and an extra Magnolia bush had been added.  Why?  Lots of trucks from Universal Studios and other kinds of equipment spread through about 4 blocks!  Set up was definitely in progress but not filming.





We went on to the Museum, arriving about 1100.  I was a bit underwhelmed by the exhibit.  They certainly assembled many valuable pieces of art and other artifacts from so many other museums.  Most of it was late period, 18th century.  My knee was hurting so we didn't go through any other part of the museum.

Had lunch at an Italian place that served carbonara.  It was OK but not as good as I remember from Florence!

Then we drove around to some landmarks that Wanda wanted to show me. 

Back to the room to watch a bit of TV on the internet.  Then about 1930 headed out to find dinner.  Drove around and around.  Wanda couldn't find the Middle Eastern place she'd suggested so we ended up back at an Irish pub where we'd been a couple years ago. 

On the way back, we crossed Prescott again so headed back up to see whether they were doing any night filming.  There must have been a half dozen police cars with flashers on guarding the several blocks around the house.  We found an out of the way place to park and walked over.  Lights were on in the house but no obvious filming.
