More Portland-ite by the minute -- an itemized list

-"Last Thursday" on Alberta with Mark, Athena, Darby and Paul. Sof got a sweet new hat, and we watched some crazy street performers, who were apparently death dancers. And lest I forget, John located an amazing pizza joint. Not once, not twice, but three times I turned around to see him coming out the door with another slice in hand.

-Friday: Road trip to Cannon Beach. A bit rainy, but spectacular. John showed Sof how to go barefoot in the sand, which she wasn't too sure about. We checked out the view from Ecola State Park, where Sof discovered just how cool slugs are. The day also included two staples of the OR coast -- clam chowder and salt water taffy, yum!





-Saturday: Early morning run with Sarah at Forest Park -- yay for running on a dirt trail! This was followed by breakfast and coffee at St. Honore, where it's rumored they fly their croissant dough in from France. I don't know about that, but I will eat their croissants ANY time.
