Home in Portland, backlogged on the blog, but happy and flying east for a wedding

Portland's crisp, warm summer weather has been welcoming me back nice and slow since last Friday when I flew in from Boston. I'm living with three guys from Reed in a beautiful residential neighborhood close to school. It is also close to a middle school that hosts little league base ball games every night... this has not yet failed to please me... and to push maternal urges I am not yet ready to have... Life feels relaxed. I'm in transition and in something of a culture shock, having moved from Paris to Boston to west coast... but old friends have been here to welcome me with open arms, and the city of portland has not lost its comfortable ease and charm. I am working on my travel log from the spring, along with photos, and will try to post them soon. God bless the magic we feel in our lives every day. Caitlin
