According to the Globe and Mail, Portland, Oregon is the model for 21st century cities. We didn't even know this when we made a pre-emptive strike there in late October so that Rheanne could attend a training session with the Rubicon software corporation on their Atlas curriculum mapping system.
While she worked and learned and spent her days in the lap of luxury in the Rubicon headquarters, Morgan, Quinn and I explored this gem of the Pacific Northwest.
We spent terrific days at the Oregon Zoo, the Science Centre, Forestry Museum, Children's Museum and a boring (except for Dad) Maritime exhibit. Rheanne joined us every evening for a wrap up of the day's events and a dinner at one of the area's funky restaurants. It was a great visit and a lovely taste of autumn weather (we returned to humid 25C conditions in Bermuda). Our next stop after Portland was Vancouver. The topic of our next blog!
