I visited Portland in January and never got round to writing about it for some reason, probably because I couldnt be bothered to sort through the mound of pictures I’d managed to accumulate in the few days I spent there. Oregon, a 30 minute flight from Seattle is described quite often as Washington’s sister. The only thing seperating them is the, well, names obviously. A person i had a conversation with about the US said that every state is like a little distinct country (except Wisconsin in his opinion). Oregon and Seattle share that North Western uniqueness, the trees and the greenery, and the mountains, and of course, the coffee. In another conversation I had, when i’d mentioned I wanted to visit Portland, I was told ‘Its like Seattle… but 30 years ago I guess’.
