Portland

Back in August we flew up to Portland for a long weekend with these hooligans. They took us all over their new(ish) city by way of public transit, foot, Subaru, inflatable canoe, and aerial tram while patiently tolerating our questions. "Now, what river is that? The same one?" "Is this southeast or northwest, er, wait-" "Is this near where we were last night? No? Wait-" "Should your car be making that noise?"

We loved Portland, green, lush, friendly, weird, tattooed, bearded, bicycle rights, Portland. These photos are just a sample of our activities. Some things not pictured:

-A drive around Sauvie Island topped off with a picnic and live music (and almost a voodoo donut) at Kruger's Farm
-More music at Mississippi Studios Bar Bar
-Late night showing of Star Trek
-Evening real estate hunting
-A lot more. Just go to Portland.
