Last November, I went Portland to give a talk the weekend after the Presidential election. My top three highlights were:
Visiting Boxwood Gardens, a nursery in the Willamette Valley that specialize in what else -- boxwoods! As I walked around, I imagined I was in England.
Avoiding the anarchists who were smashing cars a few blocks from the hotel where I was staying.
An amazing mocha complete with cat foam art.
