Portland, the land of the supersized urinal and sushi

I think this new app, made my Google for blogger (they own blogger) should work.

I went to visit my good friend Michael last week, in Portland, Oregon.

It was a week-long trip, and we got in some quality snowboarding, beer drinking ( including merryment), and some Euro-table-top games.

Portland is a pretty typical mid-size city, except it is overrun by hippies, outdoor enthusiast (see hippies), craft breweries ( see hippies), and over-sized urinals ( hippies have bad aim).

It also has its fair share of hipsters, who are not quite committed to being a full hippie, but want to appear to have some hippie leanings. I liken to the kind of people who wear cowbow hats in Indiana. ( the bonus of those people is I can use the phrase "that guy is all-hat and no cattle", which is probably true in that case ( but not true in Texas, where everyone has at least one cow and carries a six-shooter))

Here are some exciting pictures:

Some brewmasters at one of local microbrews looking at their work




Extremely big urinals ( biggest I have seen up to that point) in some bar.



A shot of the peak of Mt. Hood




The approach to mt. Hood, where it was snowing as we went up.



Extremely large sushi



Mike looking at his pet-chickens




Another bar with even bigger than the first urinals, which completely blew my mind.


Comments:
It is interesting to note that the second set of urinals are much more majestic than the first.

You couldn't imagine my surprise when I noticed this.
