Challenge 218: Lovely Portland

Another lovely day in lovely Portland. If I didn't know better...I'd say I'd want to move here. Maybe I don't know better. I don't know. But what I do know is that I'm having an amazing time here. Really fun. I've already seen two cousins (et family), gone on the Willamette River in a boat (and jumped in...the river, not the boat), eaten at a grilled cheese cart and a crepe cart, sushi restaurant, dog friendly breakfast joint (that serves the dogs free range chicken, rice, and a fried egg), played ping pong in a women's league with an olympic trained instructor, had band practice, and caught up with old friends. Still ahead is a hike (perhaps), a street fair, another cousin outing, seeing some music, and I'm sure lots more cheese and carbs. My newly exercised body has assumed it's prior-to shape, but I don't care. It's fun here.

I'm feeling ok right now, cold-wise. It's changed a lot throughout the day. A cough is here but I'm not as stuffed up. Sneezing is also here.

Right now the house is quiet. Brookes left to run an errand and her roommate is out. It's just me and the puppy in the Christmas light lit living room. I can honestly say I'm thoroughly enjoying this trip and I hope to come back often.
