Portland is a very gorgeous city. It's right on the rivers (Williamette, Columbia) with the mountains in the backround. And speaking of backrounds, this is essentially the view from my hotel room:
Mount Hood. Also the Williamette River is just outside my door.
Anyway so far the city is really cool. To my surprise it is a very trendy, bohemian city. Lots of college kids thanks to Portland State University.
Well I'm off to get into something.
