The last couple of days I was in Portland, Oregon. Portland has a vibrant downtown that was busy even in the evening with pedestrians. The weather was in the 50's. Do you know they can raise camellias in their gardens? I am jealous. I stayed at one of the Kimpton Hotels...Hotel Monaco. I have always liked the Kimpton chain since the hotels are smaller boutique venues, they allow pets and the decorating is fun. There is also a wine happy hour!
fathers were skeptics or Deists; they specifically intended a secular government with an "unbreachable wall" between church and state; they even wrote into the treaty with the Moslem nation of Tripoli a clear statement that, unlike European countries, the "United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation. " (So clearly understood was the principle of separation of church and state in those days that the treaty passed Congress without any debate on that clause, and President John Adams signed it at once, without any fear that it might jeopardize his political future. )
