In the Inside Out House

[nonionay]

I'm housesitting in Portland for two weeks. Right now, I'm lounging on the bed in the guest room (aka the air conditioned room. No one warned me it was going to be 92 degrees here. Fortunately, it cools off tomorrow.)
The interior walls of this house are...paneled. Like the outside of a house. It takes some getting used to. I appreciate this sort of weirdness, but it's still weird.

So I'm in Portland for two weeks! Is there anyone on my friends list (who isn't going to Worldcon :-P ) who wants to hang out? I've got a tree full of Asian pears to bribe you with...

Any must-see sights in Portland? Tomorrow I plan on walking to Mt Tabor, which is about 2.5 miles from me. Me being a geology nerd, I figure I should pay tribute to the friendly neighborhood volcano.

The Chinese Gardens in Old Town are gorgeous this time of year. The way there I know best from downtown -- you take MAX going eats from downtown to the Old Town stop and it's kitty-corner to your upper left if you get off coming from downtown.

(Can you believe I haven't lived there in 8 years? :))
