It is foggy this morning, but the sun is starting to peek through. We ate at this fantastic tapas restaurant last night called Colosso. We ate breaded catfish, pork empanada, clams with garlic and cheese, beet salad, and this crazy vanilla/chocolate creamy concoction for desert and of course a lot of wine.
We walked around downtown; it is pretty grungy with a lot of old buildings. Powells books is amazing. Portland is very hipster-ish, mostly all white people. We walked through China Town, which I guess is as sketchy as it gets (not sketchy at all). We had a drink in a leather bar called The Dirty Duck. Great name for a bar.
I can not believe how warm the temperature feels. Supposedly, Portland has a summer, unlike the bay area. I don't want to return to Chicago, it is so peaceful and green here. I've noticed that Anarchy: A journal of Desire Armed can readily be found around town. Not surprising, as I know that green anarchists are aplenty here. We haven't run into many, altho we walked by the Red & Black café yesterday.
Living seems easy here. It doesn't hurt that we are staying in an adorable yellow house on top of a hill.
