So it's my final full day here in Portland. Today i spent all my time in downtown. I went for a run today. There are endless trails here. I ran for an hour... i probably could have gone more, but i knew that i'd be trekin' it by foot everywhere.
So, went to the Saturday Market to check that whole scene out. A friend recommended it, so i decided to grab something to eat, and look around. Interesting group of people down there. It's like a combination of a little granola-ish, hippyish, with random artists, and ecletic mix of food. I ended up buying a cool messenger bag, tshirt and a replication of this pencil illustration work of these little bunnies.
I also went to the Chinese Gardens, and walked around Pearl again. That place is awesome. Really didn't buy anything, but great things to look at down there. Tons of art; probably why W+K is right smack in the middle of it.
Anyways, now im just debating to watch the i guess biggest event in Portland, The Rose Festival Parade. It's not quite as fancy as our Pasadena Rose Parade. I saw a few of the floats out in the Pearl where they were setting up. Umm... all i can say that it was INTERESTING. Maybe i'll take some pix outside of my window so you can see. So, it's either that or going back to Powell's City of Books. Man that place is awesome. I could be in there for days. I wanted to buy some more books, but that means i've gotta lug it all home. Damn.
Anyways, i'll try and get some photos up maybe later tonight if im just chillin'
