Our first impression of Portland is that it is pretty weird. This opinion is based solely on the downtown area on a weekend. There are a lot of interesting characters wasting their afternoons away on a Sunday downtown. The industrial part of town was much nicer in my opinion. Many colourful walls and excellent branding is everywhere.
Portland did, however, do an excellent job at leaving full grown trees left to grow in their downtown business district.
Today we left Seattle and took off to Portland. We made a couple stops along the way when we saw things worth visiting.
We took a little detour to Cannon Beach on our way to Portland. We could totally move here. The water was a little chilly but it didn't stop a couple of us. I had to look this up but the name of the rocks is 'Haystack Rock' and the smaller ones are called the 'Needles".
Joined up with the rest of our travelling gang, we took on Seattle part two.
This is the market in Seattle. We didn't buy anything but moved on to find photo spots.
You may be asking yourself why there is gum all over the wall....I don't know...
Great view at the end of the day over dinner.
