Portland was awesome
and New York was long
if you beg to differ
I'll tell you you're wrong.
There. A poem for you. That's what you come to clapboard for, right? The poetry? And the naked chicks. Sorry about that, by the way - I know you're still waiting, but I'll get around to it eventually. Probably on a subdomain, but still.
Driving to and from Portland was pretty amazing - the changes in the enviornment were breathtaking. Even though it took a long time to see those changes occur, my brain works slow, so it's okay. I'd love to do the drive someday with a time-lapse camera pointed out a side window shooting a picture every minute or so, too.
Anyway, Scott & Sharon's place is awesome - you should probably go visit them to see for yourself. I'm already looking forward to the chance to go back. I bought a couple of bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir, which were good, but a little more expensive than their CA counterparts. Probably to do with the amount of competition and the level of recognition that California wines enjoy. Regardless of their quality, if you price a wine high, it's going to get a little mindshare as a "good" wine. At least, that's how I'd do it.
I'll have pics up a little later, now that I'm back in the swing of things.
