Portland...land of eccentrity and brewpubs


Happy 4th! The past couple days have been spent here in Portland, OR. We camped for a night in Olympic National Park which was amazing. We got a backcountry permit and hiked in to camp on a beautiful sandbar right next to a rushing river. We saw no bears but did see a couple deer and bear tracks. Anyway, Portland is a weird place. We are staying in a cool hotel with a bar below us that has live music everynight. Since being here yesterday we've: seen breakdancers, crossdressers, driven through a parade route with loads of onlookers, hiked to waterfalls, visited Hood River, seen kite boarders doing some sick tricks, and we're soon headed off to the Blues Festival and a fireworks display after hitting up the Amnesia brewery. Things are going really well. We haven't heard too much about the fires in Cali, so if you have any suggestions on where to avoid, please let us know.


And now for some photos!
