Portland

Out in Portland now, actually Newberg, Oregon. Mel and I are staying with the amazingly caring Stone family, cousins of my Aunt Alicia (happy bday aunt lish!). The Stone's are incredible cooks, funny as can be, cool as hell and have like 100 cats. Chris is building a plane in his shed and Jean is busy growing zucchini the size of Philadelphia.

Mel and I found the perfect spot - a gorgeous two bedroom townhouse in the Historic Irvington district of Portland. It has a fireplace, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, huge fridge and a cool little back porch with soil to garden and a little shed. The neighborhood is awesome, we can walk to everything/anything we want right on Broadway. There's neighborhood Japanese, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, diners, pizza joints, brewerys, coffee joints, supermarket, a huge mall (Llyod Center) and more...Plus, we're 7 blocks from the broadway bridge, so we can walk/bike to downtown any time we want.. Furthermore, since lloyd is so close, we can hop on public transit for free, since it's part of fareless square!

the only thing neither of us has yet is a job! so i'm looking like crazy. please let me know if anybody hears of any open public relations or high end sales positions in Portland.

Peace from Newberg,

Pauly
