I am sure I will be more comfortable over in Portland than here. Vancouver is OK but I like a more vibrant culture if I am to live in a city. Portland is not perfect but its pluses seem to outweigh its negatives. And of course the main negative is driving a car around Portland. <br /><br />So yes, yes, yes your comments are coming through --- thanks -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-11989866266393419572014-06-30T11:59:58.819-07:002014-06-30T11:59:58.819-07:00Are my comments working?Are my comments working?Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621439195920479957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-53691881445968372182014-06-30T11:59:45.361-07:002014-06-30T11:59:45.361-07:00You will be much happier in Portland than in Vanco...You will be much happier in Portland than in Vancouver.

But after experiencing Portland I thought such an experience of living there for a period might create some new outlooks in my life. I feel fortunate that I am still able to be a wanderer -- still at my age. I think I am going to stop moving every time I move -- and then I tell myself that I am still not through. I learn so much about people and life when I am free to move around. thanks for your comment -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-21157821475483654032014-06-28T13:45:47.719-07:002014-06-28T13:45:47.719-07:00One Fly -- I plan on leaving my car at my apartmen...One Fly -- I plan on leaving my car at my apartment as much as possible -- Portland has a fantastic public transit. You can get on and off wherever and not repay to catch the next train bus or trolley. One price gives you all modes available for the day. A new experience for sure. thanks -- barbara Folkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-58621833895244490232014-06-28T13:39:59.504-07:002014-06-28T13:39:59.504-07:00John -- Your thoughts are appreciated -- photograp...John -- Your thoughts are appreciated -- photography is a loner sport so its nice to always have Reb with me -- thanks -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-15716720665655812302014-06-28T13:37:07.561-07:002014-06-28T13:37:07.561-07:00Joanne -- Moving and settling is not the exciting ...Joanne -- Moving and settling is not the exciting part -- it the part that comes after -- at least I hope so. -- thanks for your comment -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-34137623546621068652014-06-28T13:35:45.900-07:002014-06-28T13:35:45.900-07:00Teresa -- I never thought I would opt for an apart...Teresa -- I never thought I would opt for an apartment in a large city but after spending a bit of time in and around Portland I figured I would try it -- much like you thought you might do before you moved to the country.

I almost moved to a similar sounding apartment in St.Paul before I decided to head north and home. It sounds wonderful! Enjoy this new experience/adventure.
