Thanks, I really appreciate it, and I appreciate your list of things you miss. I basically wanted to know what to appreciate before leaving it, and I liked your list a lot. Fortunately Portland is a lot like Boston (the best thereof) when it comes to coffee, books, music. Not as much for Big University/Culture things (museums).

I like that you notice the little details of the house! I'm a big fan of mundane details--they are very important. I don't post more pictures of my house because it is so dirty :D.
