Default Ahhh May - It must be Omaha!

Thank God April is over. I slept in my own bed exactly 8 nights in April. The problem with that is that I slept alone in hotel rooms for the other 22 days. But, alas, (yes, I said alas) it is May. The Trees have leaves, the grass is green, my sinuses are on fire, and I get to sleep in my own bed for the rest of the month.

Portland and Poulsbo was just beautiful. Portland is a very cool town. I still lost 2.3 pounds last week, even with all the food and copius amounts of very great wine. I was at a dinner on Thursday at Jakes Crawfish Grill (Very Famous). 40 of us and it was $6000.00 dollars. ($650.00 of wine at our table alone = 3 bottles and 30 year old Port for dessert) Holy Crap - I was wrecked.

I still lost 2.3 pounds. Life is good!

Jim your post has made me homesick for my hometown of Portland. Sounds like you enjoyed your time there. The restaurants are numerous and many great choices. I dont know if you drank the local Oregon Wines, they are really world class, from the wine belt area just west of Portland and also some good Merlot coming from southern Oregon. Jakes is really a great place to enjoy seafood from what all my friends tell me, I am not a fish/seafood person, so I have never been.

2 weeks and counting and I will be on my way to the USA. Our first night in Portland will be spent at one of our favorite restaurants in NE Portland Gustov's/Reinlander, a long time favorite in Portland serves great German/American dishes and the fondue is "buono", they have some great wines from the area also....

Sounds as though you are happy to be planted at home this month. I know that being on the road can really make one appreciate their own bed.

Have a nice day.

Thanks Paul,
On Friday I did Wine Country in the Willamette Vallet. Did a tasting flight at Ponzi, Argyle and Domaine Drouhin. Brought Pinot Noir back from Ponzi and Domaine Drouhin. I could spend hours at Drouhin. Amazing place. Enjoy your trip.
Jim
