Portland OR, for the New Year

We learned quickly that many of the passengers on this line pay nothing since no one ever seems to check.

It was sunny in the winter??

You're making me a little bit homesick. I went to Portland State for school, so if you were at the Schnitz you were a few blocks from my old apartment. I live in SF now, and there's lots of water but no mountain in the background. The sunrise over Mt. Hood is beautiful (when you can see it.)

There are a lot of people who don't pay for the train, but Tri-Met really cracks down occasionally, especially if you pass through Pioneer square. I always figured that I loved having such great public transit, so I had better be willing to pay for it. There are bike racks on the front of the buses, too!

Your first 2 photos are part of my work commute route! That driveway just past the entrance to your hotel is where I leave the street, get off my bike, and walk to the entrance to the building where I work at 6th and Washington. If you saw the 3 Lions Bakery on 6th, that's the building.
