| Guess I need to unpack the suitcase, all the way! |
Elli and I flew to Portland yesterday and got reunited with VanGo. We plugged in at friend Amy's last night and started to check out the house systems. She's needs a good wash, and is otherwise (seemingly) ready to go. Amy lives in a wonderful neighborhood of Portland called Alameda. Everything is accessible by foot - groceries, theatre, doggie park, etc. Many people have gardens, including veggie gardens, on the small strips of land between the sidewalk and the curb. And there is a wonderful school nearby that's been converted into a brewpub called McMenamins. It has a restaurant, theatre, soaking tub, music, and rooms, some even with chalkboards still in them. Apparently two brothers have been converting schools and historic buildings in Oregon and Washington into brewpubs for 20 some odd years now. What a great idea.
