RailsConf07 Day -1

Just Arrived in Portland. The Redline was working so only had to pay $2.00 to get from the airport to the hotel.

Hotel charges $9.95 for internet access! When are they going to learn that for many professionals this is like air and water. This will be the last time I stay at a Doubletree until they change their policy. I did get it dropped to $6.95/day for using my T-Mobile hotspot “roaming” partner account. Every time I think I’m going to drop the hotspot account it comes in handy again.

Did a 5 mile run around the waterfront park in Portland. Beautiful sunny day! Looking forward to my Friday run and my long run on Sunday.

Ate Diner in the Blossoming Lotus Vegan Restaurant. Good food. Lot’s of raw options. At first I thought this would be another “mother earth i’ll need to get some more food after eathing here” restaurant but I was quite full afterwards. It’s near Powell’s Bookstore which is always a treat while in Portland.
