A month of weddings, the first:
August was a busy month for us, and it all started with a long weekend in Portland, OR, for Blair and Rich's wedding. As residents of the local Zen center and active Buddists, Blair and Rich had ceremony that was a variation on the traditional ceremony. I have known Blair for many years, and she has always been a profoundly independent thinker, so it was no surprise that her wedding had a similar flair. Blair is like a sister to Dan, so it was a great trip out to see her for a few days.
I had never been to Portland, and i found it to be a really cool city. The Chinese Garden was a beautiful oasis in the midst of the city. We stopped in at the Tao of Tea for some authentic tea. Delish.
Lastly, we did get a chance to visit the Rogue Brewpub in Portland. I had a taster of a number of great beers, but my favorite was the Hazelnut Nut Brown. So, so perfect.
We stayed in a really cute Hostel, in a private room. I recommend it for the budget adventure traveler!
