Portland

So Cori and I are in Portland... Marv and Linda were going to a conference in Vancouver, so we hitched a ride. They dropped us in Seattle and we rented a car and drove down on Wednesday. We spent Thursday looking around the area trying to find jobs. Cori stopped into a few Borders/Barnes & Nobles and whatnot... I stopped into a few Starbucks and found some that are looking for Supervisors... hoping if I can get in there I might be able to move up within the company. Today we dropped off applications at those two starbucks and visited 9 apartment complexes in the area. We found a couple that we were excited about... so now we're just waiting on the job to work out. After we finished all of that we drove south a little ways into wine country... did a free tasting at August Cellars, and bought a bottle of gewurztraminer to go with the Thai food we're going to pick up in a few minutes. Tomorrow we're going to find a thing or two to occupy our time... either in the Portland area or up in Seattle. At some point we'll be meeting up with Marv and Linda, dropping off the rental, and beginning the trek back to Ely. That's about all I've got for this trip. Off to get Thai food!
