I would have bought you a beer at Hobo's Bar where the tour began.<br /><br />Deborah: Salem is about a half hour south of us, so a touch further than Portland. I would guess the drive from Salem to Portland to be aboout 45 minutes. As far as rain goes... putting aside the jokes that Oregonians have webbed feet and that we don't tan, we rust, I would say it really doesn't rain that much (go to Seattle for more liquid sunshine). We tend to exagerate the rain so folks aren't tempted to move here. Personally, I love a little rain. And that is why we have so much forest, and greenery, and waterfalls. I will have to write a post dedicated to how beautiful Oregon is. I especially love the spring, but different folks enjoy different seasons here. It's all pretty grand!Curious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-56334018382854012082007-01-31T16:09:00.000-08:002007-01-31T16:09:00.000-08:00Oh wow, that sounds great !!

I hope you visit Portland some day. As for my kids, it is sad, but they are grateful for being taken away from that dark place where they were born. I don't want them overly grateful. We are so blessed to have them as our children... they owe us nothing.<br /><br />Jada's Gigi: The garlic squid was good, but a touch too spicy. not nearly as good as the panang squid i get when I go to our local Thai restaurant!

I'll post those pics thisevening, but first... some replies:<br /><br />Ame: I understand that many never returned, but those who did it took at least six years... with no pay for their labors. I tend to think of the abductors and monsters around us as a modern thing, but I suspect it isn't true... it's a human thing.<br /><br />Jel: The book store is hard to believe. That pic of the store front is deceptive. All the attached buildings are connected. Each large room is dedicated to a particular subject. They have lots of authors come in and speak, do book signings. The old pillars have signatures of all sorts of writers. A lot of fun.<br /><br />Jim: Long pork... hard to believe, but it happened. The Shanghaied men had to draw straws (regular crew excempted). Oregon isn't so crowded yet that we feel theneed to escape (and Seattle is bigger than Portland).

The solution? Recognize we are fallen. Accept who we are and face it directly. Repent. Pray about it.<br />Draw near to God. He will draw near to you." (Curious Servant)<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot about this lately. About the secrets which are there and the effects they have on us, the people trying to get to know us, on the church body as a whole. It seems so simple when you read the solution, but for some reason and somedays, it seemingly becomes a battle.<br /><br />Blessings to you and yours...Cinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015361230897796116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-8550944651679741132007-01-30T09:38:00.000-08:002007-01-30T09:38:00.000-08:00That long pork is pretty bad stuff too!
