This listing is a very convenient place. Emery was very kind to let me join him for breakfast (on 2 mornings) when that wasn't expected. And again, he kindly took me to the airport when he wouldn't have had to. The neighborhood was safe and the trees (& their autumn foliage) were very colorful.

When visiting the U.S.A., many people tend to think of major cities like NYC, San Fran, LA, D.C. and Chicago. But, I have to tell you that I really love Portland. On this trip, I visited Portland from a Monday to a Thursday (3 nights) in November. I've just realized that I should have spent a weekend there because for the 2nd half of the year, they have Saturday (& Sunday) Market in Old Town, which I would love to have seen. Maybe, next time! Emery's place is highly recommended.
