I am at Portland Coffee House at 600 SW Alder and Broadway, just a block down from Pioneer Square, where currently the annual Portland Indian Festival is taking place. It was fun stepping out of our hotel and hearing the music from down the street. I like Indian music.
Darcie is still up in the hotel room taking a quick nap. I decided to throw my bag on and hunt for some free internet. So here I am!
No plans yet for tonight. We’re just going to take it as it comes- pretty much the motto of our journey thus far. I’m excited to say that my friend Yockey is actually heading up to Portland from Sacramento as I type. He is moving here from L.A.- well – …right now I guess. We spoke earlier and are hoping to spend some time together tomorrow. He knows this city better than I do, and it should be a lot of fun to share a beer together.
I wish I had more to say. I suppose I am still taking this place in. Small bites, Rob, small bites. I fall in love so easily.

postscript,
Sorry to hear about the videos! I’m really bummed about that. For whatever reason they work on my computer. I adjusted the setting so that the videos can be viewed publicly instead of privately, so let’s see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for reading guys, and commenting. Darcie and I lay in bed at night and read the comments and it makes us smile.
Know that you are loved

Hey compatriots,
thanks for coming to church today. it was great to see your imago in my neighborhood to-dei. let me know if you want me to show you portland. i would love to walk around with you both and hold hands and skip and talk about coniferous forests and good cheeses. i hear you have a man crush on me, robert. we can try and unpack that and understand it together. i am glad you all are in this city. it is so pretty. and not too bitty. my new book is called “Rob, move to Portland”, it’s a romance novel. i love pondering things and i love jumping jacks.
i am a great author.
your brother seems cool by his comments he writes.
pax romana!
you guys inspire me. love the pics and words and videos (THAT WORK). i will kiss coin pouch good night for you, wellllll…not the actual pouch, just the owner of the pouch.
keep on trucking. and please try to buy cherries from a roadside vendor named Curly. thats what i did in oregon. it is really the thing to do.
i become a principal tomorrow. woop. woop. i would rather be acting like a kid in a honda in oregon.
The video worked! I got to see you and Darcy in a coffee place, I think. Anyway, going from private to public did the trick! Thanks. Love viewing you!!! Noah says ruff, ruff! He’s the best! Love you! Ma
