Portland Pics

*

Portland, Oregon is now my favorite city (sorry NYC!). Besides seeing the most VW campers in one place since Burning Man, we used our time in Portlandia wisely.

We had fun exploring the many parks, the Rose Test Garden, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (the video game exhibit and the iMAX were great fun), Museum of Contemporary Craft (see our post about Nikki McClure),  Portland Art Museum (a wonderful contemporary art collection, the Allure of the Automobile exhibit, and a participatory art project about objects were the highlights), Powell’s Books (better than the Strand, no really!), the Saturday Market, the McMenamins movie theatres and music halls (see our post about the Difubulators), and the various and varied food carts!

Enjoy the slideshow above with a few images from our adventures. I have to admit: we were having so much fun I didn’t take that many pictures. That’s gotta say something.

Enjoy, Mari
