Pacific Northwest: Portland Part One

I finally ventured to the Pacific Northwest for an extended period of time. I have been to Portland, OR as well as Seattle and Yakima WA but all only briefly. If you know me, you know I have been in love with the PNW from afar. It was time to solidify that love.
Stop one: Portland - Monday July 5th, 2010.
It's so green (meant literally like the amount of trees but also in eco friendly), people are talkative and friendly, local independent business are all over, you can walk/bike/bus/metro all over so easily, houses are adorable and have overgrown flowers and shrubs; Coffee is fresh, fair trade, served in french presses and served in such open, friendly atmospheres.
It was a great 3 days of walking, exploring, journaling, observing, reading and tasting.
