Parky Checks In @ The World Parkinson Congress!

Parky arrived in Portland, Oregon, for the World Parkinson Congress.  How has he spent his time so far?  Let’s see…


01

Whoa!  Parky meets Big Brother Parky at the entrance to the Oregon Convention Center.  This makes a huge impression on him!


02

Cocktail time with other WPC Official Bloggers!  From left to right:  Allison Smith of Perky Parky; Kirk Hall of Shaky Paws Grandpa; and Laura Kennedy Gould of The Magic Trick – Life with Parkinson’s.  Celebrities all!

But can we talk about the our room at the Eastlund Hotel?  Parky loves it!  It has a view of the Oregon Convention Center’s spires across the street, plus the terrific trolley stop in front.


03

And the bed!  It’s covered with a fabulous faux fur blanket.  Parky’s a big proponent of faux fur.  He’s made of faux fur himself!


04

OK!  Pillow Mountain!  Climb it!


05

Climb it, Parky!


06

Climb it!  And by the way, the climate is nice, too!


07

Almost done!


08

Persistence pays off!  A lesson for all of us with Parkinson’s disease!

Meanwhile, let’s take a look at the bathroom!  The shower is enclosed by a wall of clear glass…and the glass has a round hole in it.  What’s it for?

Well, that’s one use!  Now let’s go downstairs to the stylish and tasty coffee shop for breakfast!

Will the real Parky please stand up?

Today’s breakfast:  Avocado mash and poached egg on toast, and a world-class latte.  How long are we staying in Portland again?
