Roll On Columbia Roll On . . .

Well, we have safely arrived in Portland. This is my first time to visit the great northwest and as you can expect--it's raining.

We are staying in the coolest hotel. If you are ever in Portland, you should visit the McMenamins-Kennedy School

The rooms are converted classrooms--complete with chalk boards and the furniture is antique. We have a movie theater, a restaurant, and they have art shows and poetry readings. I've never seen anything like it. And as the name implies it is a converted school.
