I’m officially in Portland! 

I arrived at around 11 last night and was greeted by an excited Katie Child at the baggage claim.  The flight went by SO quick; didn’t even finish reading my cosmo I then met her boy that goes by “Pod” and then we drove to the opposite side of town for food.  We ate at Shari’s which is Oregon’s version of Dennys.  Food was pretty good   Since I flew in at night, I really wasn’t able to see much of the scenery on the way to Katie’s place (womp), but I figure since I’m here for the next 3 days, that’ll leave plenty of time to catch up

First thing you notice about Portland if you’re not from here: there are a LOT of trees.  I know trees aren’t something that someone should typically be excited about, buuuuut if you live in LA and think that PALM TREES are trees enough, you haven’t seen ANYTHING.  Literally, every other block or so, there are trees lined up, its like a mini forest in every direction you look.  Reminds me a lot of the UC Santa Cruz campus.  So since there are lots of trees here, the air is WAY cleaner.  And since it rains here a lot, it really contributes to the clean air that much more. 

But anyhoot.  Got to Katie’s place around 1ish, crashed by 2ish, and remember being waking up around 6 to a doggie licking me in the face and trying to cuddle with me on the couch   super cute!  Her name’s Dakota, and I have to remember to take a picture of her before I leave. 

Soo as far as plans are concerned, we really don’t have any, but that’s the part of our friendship that has always kept us going;  spontaneity is key.  Sooo whatever we end up doing later, I’m sure it’ll either be fun, chaotic, disfunctional, or all of the above.  Stories to be shared later

Until then, I’m gonna see what else I can do to kill time until Katie’s off the clock.  Feels nice to be out of the LA bubble for a bit. 

That is all. 

Toodles from Portland!
