Well, it seems like I've arrived in Portland, OR last night. I don't think that I've ever had such a bad journey as I had yesterday. Apart from being a long journey, a lot of things didn't exactly go the way I planned.

Ooops..that's my battery saying it's almost empty, so I'll have to finish this later. I'm now in the Starbucks coffeehouse at Pioneer Square...wonderful initiative...Personal Telco in Portland++


Places to go...

If you're hurting for stuff to do, here's some places I wish I could go to right now. Its all in the SE part of the city since that's what I know.

First off, if you don't mind a little exercise the best way to get around town is on a bike. Rent one. You can throw it on a bus if you need to go a long distance.

Free Geek. Ask to see the racks of cases, what I call the Matrix Room. "Computers. Lots of computers."

After that walk over to the Lucky Lab for some hair of the dog.

If you feel like going for a bit of a walk and are sick of Starbuck's there's the Red and Black Cafe

By then you're hungry. Hawthorne and 20th has the Bombay Cricket Club as well as Vincente's Pizza.

Hop over to the Laurelhurst Theatre for a movie, beer and pizza.
