The one big tourist attraction in Portland is the International Rose Test Garden, a meticulously manicured garden of over 500 different rose varieties. Hanna and I went there on a rainy Monday (4/6) morning, but I was soon so intoxicated by the smells and the beauty of the raindrops on the rose petals that I neither felt the chill nor heard Hanna’s careful suggestions of “mightn’t we go into town soon?”. My camera had reached seventh heaven.















I can feel their scent al the way to Dogville.
