Reflections on the United States of America 2025

We were here August 12 - September 22, 2025. We had friends to see, family to love on and property we had to check.

But without access to our home, currently being rented, we stayed in hotels and Airbnbs. We visited our hometown of Portland, Oregon and some spots in Ohio to see family.

Below are pics from our accommodations.

We also recorded two podcasts while we were there: “How To Die in Oregon…Naturally”: Part One, Part Two.

Airbnb apartment — SE Portland, OR USA

August 28, 2025/ Global Hotel Guys

We were here August 28 - September 7, 2025 ($99 per night, property link). Nicely remodeled basement apartment with full kitchen off Cesar Chavez Blvd near SE Division. It was conveniently only two blocks from our family. Lots of nice touches with a sitting area in the backyard. Very nice owners live above and were a pleasure.

Below are pics from the accommodation.
