Both Prachee and I have always liked Portland, but it had been 10 years since we’d last been there as Management Trainees at Toyota! This year we were determined to go back and visit friends and family – and introduce them to Julian. We met our friends Sarah & Munier (& their son Rohan) in Bangalore when Prachee got Obama fever and got involved with the chapter of Democrats Abroad that Sarah had founded. Their “tour of duty” ended just short of election day and they returned to Portland, but we said we’d get together again back in the US. Prachee’s cousin Ajay and his family (Brook, Maya, Sophie and twins Cash & Kai) are also long time Portland residents and in the last year had added twins to the family. It was great to catch up with the Portland Date’s whom we hadn’t seen since our wedding and of course also meet Cash & Kai. Portland has only gotten better in the last 10 years and we also got to visit the town of Hood River on the Columbia River Gorge – Sarah & Munier have their lovely weekend place there. It was a bit chilly, but we ventured out to the Pumpkin patch and grabbed a beer at one of Oregon’s finest brew pubs – Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River. We had a fantastic weekend and Julian loved his first of hopefully many more Portland trips!
