Portland was just too good to us. Perfect weather and wonderful to bike around with our tandem.
Here is a list of some of the things we did:
-Get lost in Powell's Book store [it's a whole city block]
-Swoon and droll over the Saturday's Farmer's Market
-Have dinner with our dear friend Nick and get to see where he's living
-Eat at way too many great places [great food, but we were starting to miss a good home cooked meal]
-An unnecessary purchase of a 5 gallon bucket of doughnuts at VooDoo Donuts
-Hang out in their beautiful parks
-Lust after some items in the Homestead store in Milwaukie and come out with a Pasta Maker!
Part of us wants to live there. The land is so cheap. It makes the dream of owning a farm so much more tangible. But, who knows how far we can stray from our families without being homesick. We would miss them too much. Plus, we know Portland was deceptively beautiful. The other half of the year is a cold rainy weather. Not sure this California girl can handle that weather. Ha!
