Portland (w/pics)


I've spent the better part of a week in Portland. I left yesterday and am now in Astoria, OR on the coast where the Columbia River lets out. Astoria has the charm of a small town and the traffic/parking of NYC. Odd. I'll probably work my way down the coast for a day or two.

Portland stuff:
  • Stayed at a hostel on E. Hawthorne.
  • Hung out downtown.
  • Met Amy's friends, Miles and Rachael.
  • Met up with Kelly and her dog Henry.
  • Went to Powell's a couple times. (huge bookstore)
  • Went to two different rose gardens.
  • Went to a traditional Japanese garden. This was really pretty. (I wish I had gone earlier in the day to get better light.)
