Standard basic education of my generation. But play too long and you start seeing Green Men…

Not just any bookstore – a giant bookstore that occupies an entire block, and an independent one at that. With thousands upon thousands of new and used books, gifts with smart messages and a great coffee shop. Also, someone in there is a cat lover, which automatically elevates it to my top favourite places in Portland.

Beyond Downtown Portland cool… Just 15′ ride on MAX Light Rail to Washington Park and the scenery changes completely. The park is so huge they offer a free shuttle service looping around the park’s main attractions, but we thought we’d take a trail through the Arboretum that would eventually lead us to the Japanese Garden. Eventually it didn’t (we got lost on the way* and switched to one of the main roads skirting the park; more ”urban” but no less stimulating, lined as it was with beautiful houses, completely surrounded by nature).

*All trails are clearly marked, some of them paved. We got lost only because we were taking shortcuts, thinking they would lead us faster to our destination.

Might She be hiding in plain sight? Could it be Her, poking out of that giant white sheet?

Between Lake & Mountain Lies True Meaning*

*Following recent (voodoo) assault to our glycaemic index, the elegance and tranquility of the Chinese garden was a requisite for restoring the balance.
