Last November I had a little business in Portland, and having never been there I decided to make a trip of it. Since then I’ve actually returned and have really grown to love this city, but I wanted to take a look back at my first trip in the form of a photo diary.

Captions for each pic are at the bottom of the post (trying something new..!)
