Hello, Portland [status]

[rebeccmeister]

In general I am relying on smart o phone data while traveling, but it is varying in its cooperation, so this is a high speed, low budget smart o phone post.

Anyway! Several years have elapsed since the last time I stayed at what is now known as the Portland Hostel. In that time they finished building a new central building that houses the front office, a cafe, and a community space. The kitchen is now on the lower level of the original main building. And a grocery coop that I’d remembered has ceased to exist. Grocery prices are definitely jacked up here. Otherwise it’s all all right so far.

I am fighting a sinus/barometer headache, though. Sigh.

I think this storm is bringing in some tropical mold and fungi spores that I have sensitivities to. Looking at the wind directions it is blowing right up toward you.
Hope the conference is going well.

That could certainly be a contributor! The conference is going very well so far, hooray!
