Stump Town

Record highs, temperature-wise here. We have been in Portland for a few days now and got here just in time for a heat wave. Today until Wednesday we should reach 101 degrees! Who knew the northwest would get that hot! Katie and Dan: since we arrived indulged ourselves in the wonderful food and beer culture. The 2nd night we attended the grand opening of The Woods including a folksy, indy portland band and yes, more brews. Afterwards, we checked out the food carts on 12th and Hawthorne for some delicious Poutine (google it). We also went to the Saturday farmers' market and had one of the best tamales ever from one of the carts.

To much surprise, we found out that an old friend from SCAD Lacoste, Joe, resides in Portland! He was a year above us. We all met up for a great bowl of pho and some brews at the Brass Horse Pub. Well thats it for now...tune it next time for something crazy...like clamming!
