Camp Population Doubles


Summer Camp PDX is super excited to welcome our esteemed guest camper, the lovely Ms. Heather Franzese, who flew up from San Francisco for the long weekend. 

Unfortunately H's check-in time was a little later than scheduled. Her airport driver (who shall remain nameless) was cruisin' along and rockin' out to Jay-Z, when all of the sudden she spotted the most breathtaking view of Mount Hood and totally sped past the exit.

Thank God for those "Welcome to Washington" signs. You know, crossing state lines is usually a good clue that you've gone too far. Also, they really shouldn't put airports in such beautiful locations. Just sayin'.

Besides that minor delay, H's visit started as all good reunions should: with a marathon catch-up conversation over two bottles of Chardonnay from the local Argyle Winery. Ms. Franzese recently launched the Fair Trade Apparel program for Transfair USA (huzzah, you can now buy fair trade clothing!), so she had lots of interesting stories about her factory visits and negotiations around the globe.

Lights out at 2:30 AM -- not bad for two old ladies. Next stop: Pacific Ocean...
