I recently went on a business trip to Portland to attend the Public Library Association (PLA) Conference. As luck would have it, one of Portland's famous gardens was located directly in between my hotel (which was awesome) and the Convention Center.
The Lan Su Chinese Garden is located at the entrance of Portland's Chinatown. It's history is a rich one, and part of a much larger picture. Portland is the sister city to China's Suzhou. As such, Portland wanted to bring a piece of China's culture into the city. Thus the idea for the garden was born. Here is the Web site if you want to know more about it.
Really, though, I just wanted to use this post as a way to wish you all a HAPPY SPRING!
