I am a very city person, so obviously all I have done in the States is seen big cities. I am in Portland right now, and the two reasons that got me here were my friend living here, and the 10 dollar roundtrip to fly to the west coast. I did not really think much about how the city was going to be.
Now that I am here, I love it. I cant imagine living here, but as a tourist I love this place. I went to Mount Hood yesterday and boated in Lost Lake. The 5 hour drive was just mesmerizing (apart from me getting sick while coming down the slope).
It is a lover’s paradise. I heard it somewhere “Portland is so romantic, that it can be Paris if you are with the one you love.” That is so true indeed. It is nature at it’s best. It totally reminded me of Europe, and all the places I have seen there.
Just sitting on the boat in the middle of the lake, sipping some India Chai, and looking around sitting next to that someone special, is what it is all about. I mean I was there with my friend, but I am sure he was thinking about his girl friend all that while..lol
I can’t put any pictures up right now, but I advice everyone to come here at least once. Right now I feel like my 7 hour plane ride was worth it.
Also, I went to a Casino for the first time and made 160 bucks (call it beginner’s luck). So I am all set for a wonderful time here in Portland. I am glad I came here.
More updates to come….
