Portland, and a pause

I arrived in the Portland area after Boise and met up with David and Rachel again, where Rach is having an internship (we're actually across the river in Vancouver, WA). The first few days were busy with the Fourth and birthdays and an amazing dinner at Ox, an Argentine steak house. I needed a break from the road, and access to regular hot showers, so I booked a room for a month and am taking a break. I’ve actually begun working on my CV/resume and applying for jobs, so break and pause may be disingenuous words. I’m here, for now, at least!
