I should’ve updated sooner.  Welp, better late than never

1. PORTLAND WAS AAAAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNNNGGG!
2. Portland is way underrated.

Katie child pretty much took me everywhere that was labeled “fucking awesome”.  Saturday Market, the MAX!, Voodoo Doughnut, Saint Cupcake , Shari’s, Malone’s, BISCUITS, Panera…. too much good stuff in Portland and not enough time   I didn’t realize I was in Portland until… the second day into my trip, haha.  And then by the time I was adjusted and wanted a little more of the town, it was already time to go home! nooooooo!!  The weather was beautiful!  Katie child was amazed at how well the weather was behaving.  I suggested that I brought the sunshine with me

I adored Saturday Market.  It was this really neat artsy/hippy-ish street market with stands that included hundreds of DIY crafts, ranging from paintings, clothing, wall decor, you name it.  If only I’d brought a bigger suitcase with me   I bought these really neat sundresses and a couple of shirts from some cool graphic designer dude.  I wanted to buy this one painting SO bad, but the seller wasn’t arou

Time flew!  I thank Katie Child (and the Pod) for being great hosts this past weekend.  But mostly Katie child; had it not been for her constant “when are you coming to Portland?” inquiries, this trip could not have been possible. 

There were a lot of things I appreciated in Portland that I wish LA had:  TREES, bike lanes galore, Saturday Market!, The MAX…. uhhh… pretty much everything I mentioned in the beginning of this entry

However, the music scene in LA can’t be touched, amongst other things (but don’t let me get into it because that’ll spark a whooooole other entry that has nothing to do with portland… )..

Anyway, I promised myself that I would have to visit again sometime before the year ends.  It was just too fun.  And because I need more Katie child in my life!
