Last year, almost every time I start raving about how much I loved Seattle, someone said "Then you should go to Portland." I guess it's like one of those music recommendations... "Like Damien Rice? You'll love Brett Dennen!" So for this year's Artfest pilgrimage we planned in a little detour to Portland, Oregon.
Friday afternoon we took the train down to Portland from Seattle, passing through Tukwila, Tacoma, Olympia, Centralia, Kelso, and Vancouver (WA not BC). The stations at either end were walking distance from where we stayed, which is the way we like it. We threw down our bags and were on the streets by 4pm, and we didn't have to be at the station again till after 5 on Saturday.
You'll have to wait for photos though as I mainly stuck to my LCA+ this trip. I've got some pictures that I just love, but they need to be scanned in when I get home.
