In PDX, finally

So I am in a library right now because I don't have internet yet. I arrived yesterday at about noon and began the daunting task of unpacking my trailer. It took me till 8pm, since I was alone and it was raining. The woman into whose house I have moved is on a ski trip till tomorrow night, so it was kind of strange to move into this person's house when she wasn't there. Anyway, her style is very simple, not minimalist, but clean and uncluttered. My rooms are upstairs. I have two, one a little smaller than the other. I am keeping the smaller one for my bedroom since the larger one has south facing light and I would like to use that to my advantage for photography. The first night was lonely, but I was so exhausted that I fell asleep at 8pm and slept till 8am, straight through. I have a bunch of stories from the road, so stay tuned for those. I will post them as soon as I get a connection in the house.

As for Portland, I haven't explored yet. I did venture out to get a Vietnamese tofu and veggie sub ($2.50!!) and some food for breakfast at the local supermarket. It's about 3 blocks from my house, so it will be nice to shop European style again instead of loading up on weeks worth of groceries at a time.

I will be taking lots of pictures so also be stay tuned for that as well.

For now, I have to get back and unpack. I want this woman to come home to a clean house and I want to be as good a tennant as possible.

More to come...
