My friends in Portland, Oregon are so sweet. They have been emailing me daily with ideas for things to do during my visit there next month - drive to the sea, check out neighborhood shops, eat from food carts, and promises of introductions to their lovely friends. On top of that Molly Wizenberg, one of my all time favorite bloggers/writers who now owns what is probably one of the coolest restaurants in Seattle (I’m heading there for a meal), has taken the time to send me her favorite places to eat and hang out in Portland. Doesn’t it sound like this trip is going to be fun! I’ve been getting pings of excitement before zinging back to earth and my lists, loft of boxes, pies to bake for Thanksgiving, the holiday…After all I still have to move (!!) to Maine in a week.
These pictures by Mati Rose of her trip to Portland last month certainly have me daydreaming about my upcoming trip.
