Dear Weather gods of Portland,
I'm thinking maybe you could do me a small favor...not rain toooo much...while I'm visiting. I know it's September and all, but perhaps you could wait just a tad longer before the full on rainy season begins? Hope that's not too much to ask. :) Then again, maybe that's why it rained this morning here in Milano. It's the weather gods playing a little joke, preparing me for the good ol Portland rain. Michele and I looked at eachother this morning, opened the umbrella's and refused to admit that the summer weather might actually be over. Luggage packed, anticipation of long flight has begun...it should be nice to just click my heels together and arrive. See you soon!
