Back in Los Angeles for about 36 hours before another trip abroad, with pics to come, as always.

Gotta update the recent post about my Portland visit, though. In all my travels, I have never had so many readers deluge me with unexpected invites and kind notes as you guys in Portland just whapped me with. Nothing even close. I’ll try to return every note when I get the chance on return from this next trip, and for now please accept my blown-away thanks.

I’ll have to visit again soon, stay longer, and hang out. I knew I already had friends in the area. Apparently I just didn’t realize how many. Wow. Thank you. Back atcha.

As to where I’m headed next, two words: Puffin Cam.
