My fortune cookie told me I need a vacation so I did just that. I rented a car and drove straight up to Portland, Oregon. I have connection up there so temporarily dwelling wasn’t an issue. It was my first time up there and I instantly fell in love with great outdoors of Oregon. Too bad Mt. Hood’s snow hasn’t completely melted because I was looking forward trekking it. I can see myself living there but the constant rain might dissuade me. Of course, I took some pictures and will post them subsequently.
