Portland

Recently took a trip to beautiful Portland Oregon. Here's a video....

Here's a lovely shot of Jenny walking around the Pittock Mansion gardens.

Top 3 things about Portland:

Powell's City of Books - The biggest book store I've ever seen, great selection, great prices.
Ground Kontrol Arcade/Bar - Pinball Mecca for Portland's disciples. Beer and bar food to boot? Sold. A great selection of games with machines that are very well maintained. Why doesn't this exist in So Cal instead of places like Dave n Busters? Absurd.
Food Carts - Legit food, Portland doesn't fuck around when it comes to eats.

Bottom 3 things about Portland:

Portland Underground Walking Tour - Ending up being mostly a history of racism tour. Important lessons but a major bummer.
Vagrancy - There's a thin line between hippie and homeless in Portland. Random folks kept asking us for twenty bucks. At least they think big.
Art Walk - Maybe we came at a bad time but the Art Walk was less than impressive. I was more impressed with the novelty velvet paintings than everything we saw at the chic galleries.
