Utopia

I've been wanting to move to Portland so I started corresponding with my mom's cousin who lives there.  Here's his description of Portland:
"I am so glad you are considering moving to Portland. It is a beautiful city with a lot of good neighborhoods. The city is divided into 5 sections, north, northwest, southwest, southeast and northeast. The Willamette River divides the city from east to west...The climate here is temperate. We do get a fair amount of rain but it usually isn’t the downpour type. You can go about you business without much incontinence. You get the change of seasons but without the extreme temperatures. Great fall and spring due to all the trees. The city is environmentally conscience. People here like their coffee, music and a great bookstore which we have. Salmon, wine, microbrews, every imaginable berry and fresh product are staples here. Gardening, biking, running, hiking and fishing are among some of the interests here as well." 

Is this my kind of place or what?

  1. That's my kind of place too! Perhaps if you move there, I could follow and we could be roomies again sometime in the future!
