Portland: In der Stadt

SO I've officially been here [Portland] for about 2.5 weeks! Needless to say, it's awesome/amazing/wonderful/fun/cool/so good!!! Yes I am pretty stoked to be living in such a unique and cool city. Here's what I've been seeing and experiencing lately!

The first week here a music fest called Music Fest North West [MFNW] going on so there were lots of shows, and this particular one was free! We saw the electro DJ's MSTRKFT. Really fun show and really schweaty.

Free wine and food at a neighborhood block party? ok!

House!

RICE PUDDING!!! They have an entire rice pudding store. Like ice cream, but rice pudding... 




Food Carts= Best food for the least amount of money and a big amount of food.





One of the many reasons why I love Portland is everyone's creativity. There is art all around the city. These pictures below are of art projects by students at the Pacific Northwest College of the Arts that are displayed in a shop window for all to see.

Homemade Sushi night!

Okay so here's another post not about Portland (don't worry those will be coming soon...) For my sister's 27th birthday (read about her Roman adventures here) my brother and Zack made homemade sushi and if you have never made some sushi yourself I highly recommend it because it is freaking delicious! And cheaper :)

This is the only animal i'll eat, and it's damn good.


Take that Mikuni!

LPizza
















This is my best friend Lauren Parker, LPizza for those in the rapping industry. She graciously modeled for me one afternoon in her backyard in our classic suburb hometown. These captured a non important, mundane summer afternoon that we had countless times. I take photographs to remember days just like these. Lounging around at my friend's parent's house in my twenties.
