It's awfully small, and I'm pretty sure there's not much mass transit beyond busses. But definitely I can see why you thought my post was about Ithaca- especially after looking at the last photo. I do wish that Portland was near the east coast, where my roots are. Then I would have liked it even more.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-73215611059298515192007-10-07T11:54:00.000-04:002007-10-07T11:54:00.000-04:00Dear Motherwintermoon,Thank you for visiting and c...Dear Motherwintermoon,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting and commenting.
