Portland time

It's been gratifying to take a few days and just be low-key especially after the intensity of this past week. I have appreciated the art of being a local in this city and not being a tourist. Spending time with friends here has also been enjoyable throughout. I also have already had one reunion with some Buddhist friends from the past, with another possibly coming up later this week, and it's always nice to be able to draw on those connections wherever I am.
I saw Portland's notorious rain for the first time this evening; it's been mostly sunny with some clouds thus far since arriving Monday night. This neighborhood of the city (Belmont) is also particularly bohemian and liveable.
