I guess since we've been here a few weeks it is about time I get a post going about this wonderful city known as Portland. We are officially moved into our apartment in a beautiful neighborhood with tree lined streets and friendly people with Winter gardens. We can walk to no less than 2 farmer's markets (1 of which goes all year long) and if we can't walk it we can ride our bikes most anywhere in the city we need to go. Most days I make it to a yoga class and teach a yoga class and then have time to wander aimlessly through town, there are over 100 neighborhoods here to explore- ours, Clinton, has a 5 way stop with a movie theater (they play Rocky Horror every Saturday), a few pubs, a few restaurants and a local coffee roastary. I did not expect to fall in love with Portland so quickly but from the moment we unpacked our boxes it felt like home.
