Narry needs the States. Yes, there are many other countries to explore. I will get to those soon enough, but this year I need a lil bit of Amurrr-kah (America, and no I do not know anyone – including myself – who pronounces it like that).

For a while now I have had a Portland State of Mind.

Portland is the “the city of roses” and a while ago I heard all about Powell’s City of Books, the biggest bookstore – like ever. Biggest? Yes, it fills an entire city block.

There are rivers and bridges, bicycles and streetcars, restaurants with names like Olé Olé and Cha! Cha! Cha! – oh, and in case you did not know, Portland is the home of The Waffle Window.

Yes, it is all about food and cherry blossoms. Portland has cherry blossoms too. I know, right? Can it get any better? Yes it actually can, because Seattle is close enough. Three hours ‘close enough’.
