Hello from Portland! Justin and I are camped out here for a week, just taking in the sights (and food). We’ll be working as well – the life of a freelancer means you work a lot, but you can work anywhere.
Today I took photos.
heavy bags at the airport :: camera, books, laptop
mountains near san jose
above the clouds :: reflection of my wedding ring in the dirty window
art wall in our hotel room
cute separated bathroom :: bed in the center of the room :: my reflection
midday streets
super excited about stumptown vietnamese iced coffee
it’s a dump truck :: they make dumplings
whole city blocks lined with food carts
khao man gai is disappointing – boiled chicken, boiled rice, chicken broth :: dumplings filled with beef and cheese, noodles, potato curry, and pork are also disappointing
excited about 2 1/2
flowers on light posts in the pearl district
austin beerworks sticker!
coffee and sweets at lovejoy bakers :: cool breezes and journaling
already bought too much at powell’s
art in our staircase
lovely fish grotto mural
drinks and snacks at clyde common :: nasturtium :: rum punch :: olives and almonds
fries with harissa and creme fraiche
after naps and a bit of work, the 6 degrees of kevin bacon pizza at sizzle pie :: justin is more interested in the hot sauce
nightcaps at teardrop :: corpse reviver and sazerac in lovely glassware
good night!

Welcome to Portland! Hope you are loving it!
Thank you so much! Everything has been lovely so far. Please do let me know if you have any favorite shops or places we should try! 🙂
If you are here through the weekend you must, must hit the Saturday Market downtown. I think you will love it and your camera will too 🙂
Glad you are enjoying yourself.
Thank you! We will plan to spend Saturday there for sure.
p.s The coast. It is so worth it to go if you get the chance. Have fun! Ciao!
That hotel is too cute! Where are you staying?
Oh, duh, hyperlink. Anyway, it’s so cute! I must stay there if we ever go to Portland!
Yes, we LOVE the Ace! It feels like home, no matter what city we’re in.
Totally jealous of the Stumptown Coffee!! Fortunately I went to Fresa’s today so I got my fix. 😉 Have a great time and safe travels! xoxo
Yay! Stumptown is THE thing here. And I love it. 🙂
