There's
no better way to enjoy Portland, OR (aka Beervana) than to drink wayyy more
beer than you know you should with some of your favorite people...and that's
exactly what I did! I spent 8 wonderful days in "Stumptown" exploring the
beautiful city, eating my heart out, and drinking my liver to death.
From the moment I arrived, I hit the ground running and took full
advantage of the surprisingly perfect sunny weather there. I roamed the
streets, parks, bridges, and so much more. Since this was my first trip to Portland, I visited
tons of touristy sites (pictured below). But by 5pm every day, my trip turned
into a beerfest with my friends, my cousin and her grad school buddies.
I left Portland with a crazy hangover, a gnarly cough
and cold, and 5 more lbs but it was all offset by the many new memories
and friends I've made (including the most amazing 71 year old lady I met on my flight to
PDX)! And to top it off...I even learned how to use public transportation!
I definitely can't wait to head back and visit
again soon!

A random patch of land the length of two city blocks where the goats roamed. This little bit of randomness made my trip sooo much better!
