So an SSO:USA tradition that has developed over the last ten years (now 11) is the late night sing along. We had quite a crowd this year and Michael, a semi professional guitar player (friend of John White who facilitated this year's conference and who started the sing alongs) joined us after playing during the dinner celebrating the Ruth Zemke award. We always have an international flavor including Helen (Ireland), our Japanese visitor, Sheema (India), Moses from Kenya and a gaggle of Canadian therapists. Saturday was busy as I presented that day, but we did get outside for some lunch. Sunday morning before going to the airport we had to visit the famous Voodoo Doughnuts where good things come in pink boxes and the not so famous Tula bakery.
We did convince Helen (on the left) to sing Molly Malone

Portland is well known for all it's varied food places. I had food made by a Vietnamese vendor - Teriaki chicken and noodles
Interesting sculpture in the local park - lots of great sculpture in Portland
