Portland

[elegantblackcat]

Here I am in Portland, Orgeon. Staying in part of town that is about as desolate for food options as anywhere I've been in the last two years. Had to drive 10 miles yesterday to get a decent breakfast. At least there is a Starbucks not too far away (still have to drive there).

The trip up was long, but mostly uneventful.

Ha ha ha!

Isn't the road up this way just a total trip?

I've gassed in Weed, wondered at that sign, and made similar observations during my 6 or so one way journeys through that area during last Fall and Winter.

What Oregon has got is an insanely magickal bio-density, clean air to heal with, and many many wild spirits.

I personally just do not like to choose between clean air, trees and pretty water, and the pulse of a city.

Seattle has been so nice, because I have both right here.

I can barely believe you are coming tomorrow. Pray the wedding was tons of fun (or at least very nice.)

Cheers!

Wedding was good, but damn is the Eastern Orthodox Church patriarchical. Barely a step above Catholocism in that regard. A couple times I had to remind myself that it was my friend's wedding and this is what she wanted. Otherwise, very pretty ceremony with lots of singing. Reception was fun, too, with lots of good food.

Ha ha.

My birth family (the flesh one,) was Greek Orthodox, and they so squicked me out instinctively when I was young. (Though they really gave my Great Grandmother, who had been born in Greece, a lovely funeral, I must admit.)

Hey...

You should give me a ring, if you're still awake. Or at least just email me your number, I want to keep in good contact.

(Call my Skype, its cheaper.)

Have a good night, one way or another!

"South Weed" Hee hee hee - like it's big enough for "south" anything :>. Done that drive myself numerous times - glad the wedding was lovely, if vaguely disconcerting... Hope the drive up here was stress free (and if you haven't already left, LEAVE NOW!!! - Labor day "get home traffic" is a bitch from Portland to Seattle :>
