30 Days of Keeping PDX Weird

It certainly is an interesting mix of people and business here in the Rose City. There's a saying here, Keep Portland Weird. I think I'll fit in fine.

I'm just discovering the (in)famous Pearl District in NW PDX. Some of the eclectic characters I've met on the Max, at bus stops, or in the cafes and winebars in this artsy district have included 30 year old billionaire brokers, entrepreneurs in the aviation propeller biz for in-flight refueling of unmanned aircraft, and Hawaiian beach bums here to take care of their ailing mother...never a dull conversation, except if I'm on the #72 when I play my iPod LOUD to drown out some inane conversation of the crazies and street people.

During the next 30 days, maybe I'll meet my intended - or at least a fellow Aussie or Kiwi to say G'day to. You reckon?

Ciao 4 now.

DownUnder Dee now known as DeePorted

Dee's landed in Portland. It's a port city on the US West Coast for my Aussie mates. It has nothing to do with me being deported from paradise :>). (Don't get me started about immigration laws!) I left of my accord and chose to come to Oregon, a place not unlike Oz with beautiful harbors, a national seashore coastline, snow-capped mountains, lush, old forests, and pinot and syrah vineyards!

Aside from Melbourne-like traffic, freeways and bridges, the people are just as friendly and as much gardeners as Hobartians. This is the Rose City, and not coincidentally, my real name is Rose Mary (after my late departed birthmother).
