Portland

I went book shopping… without taking two very important things into consideration. How was I going to carry all of these back to the car? I managed…. but then, more importantly…. how am I going to get these on the plane tomorrow? I will see…
Some of the highlights…
Julian Barnes outdoes himself….
Interesting bicycle art on the street…
A church…
There were many amazing little stores… The English Dept… I was hoping for cute clothes, but they sell custom wedding gowns.
I liked the way this building looked.
And this one… (although this is a terrible picture).
Had late late lunch/dinner…
And the most decadent dessert… so rich it took me almost 45 minutes to finish…
And tomorrow back home….

Random Pictures

Today was good, especially in comparison to yesterday. My presentation went very well, and I got to meet a lot of very wonderful and brilliant people. I am not going to really talk about the conference since most of you who have been to conferences know what it is like, and for those of you who haven’t, well, my paltry description won’t really elucidate much.However, during one of the longer breaks I walked around a bit and took some fun pictures.

This was directly across the street from the conference.

I tried getting a close up of the tower….
I just like the way this building looks.
There was a park/sitting area down the street…. the autumn colors looked so beautiful.
This is a terrible picture, but this coffee shop was actually pretty cute.
I haven’t the slightest clue what these things are, but they reminded me of printing presses. Either way, this building had a bunch of them, and I had wanted to take pictures since yesterday… finally got a chance to do so as I was walking back to my car tonight.
Tomorrow I am going into actual Portland, so I should have more to share then.

Wordless Wednesday

I was walking around. I saw this place and liked it. And the picture turned out well.

I was standing in the parking lot at work talking to Mandi, and she convinced me to photograph my feet. My ever elusive creepy little feet… once again covered.

Ooooh… what is behind there?
When I bought this I didn’t think it was my style… but I am beginning to really like it…
