Ah, the great city of Portland, known to me for its enthusiasm for planted roofs. I will check out your tips with interest :-) | keida84 Fri Jul 22, 2005 21:11 UTC
Hi I took your suggestion and looked at your Oregon page. How nice there is a used bookstore at the airport!!! Oregon looks great, I have driven up the coast to Canada but that was many years ago. Kat |
