portland....?

we're at the ace hotel in portland!!! how did that happen? i mean... we didnt' plan on getting here for a couple more days and... staying in a hotel..... naww.. we wouldn't do that. we'll just park on the street and sleep...

haa!!!! yeah right! do we not know ourselves??!!!..... i mean come on!

all day today i think we've been magnetically pulled towards portland. this is where we came last august with good good friends katie and shane and that trip changed grant's life... he ate his heart out last time.. and is planning to do the same now. so what if we get in a little bit more debt. i mean, that knot in my stomach from money worries, i'm sure i can breathe that out. grant will just need a raise when we get back and i'll need a job that pays. (someone please hire me.)

ok. ok. enough rambling. let's get on with it.
much of today was spend in the van driving.... so much road work being done.. which was frustrating but also pretty fun when we got to ride behind this guy!!! haha. so great!


what wasn't great at all was the fire that was burning hard when we drove past medford.
stupid stupid destructive wild fires... but really beautiful fiery sunsets!!!

just before 11 we got to our hotel and slipped into eat at the clyde common(the restaurant attatched) i got a plate of delicious carrot gnudi and grant got some pork belly.. and something that had both trout and beef tongue in it...


dessert was marvoulous. even though i'm not a fan of figs...

ok. seriously.. so tired now. my eyes are closing on me... need my overnight nap. (grants already started his!) we have much exploring the city to do tomorrow. goodnight. xo
