Sunday, August 9th – Portland, OR

Today was a pretty lazy day – I wound up getting up around 9:45am and then Alina and Josh woke up about an hour and a half later or so and Alina made some awesome oatmeal blueberry pancakes which were really yummy. We ate breakfast pretty late, about noon and then Chase came over about 2:45 or so and we worked on the photo swap and all. It was unfortunately a pretty time-consuming process, but we got all the photos swapped, I think. Afterwards, we (Alina, Josh, Chase, and I) drove downtown to go to a place for their happy hour specials. We wound up getting a quesadilla for $1.95, a burger with fries for $2.95, and drinks. It wound up being around $10/person, so not too bad. Granted, they get you on the drinks – making you order at least a $3.50 beverage in order to get the happy hour food specials.

Portland.

Chase left after happy hour to go meet his cousin for dragon boat race practice and Alina, Josh, and I went to a cheapie movie for $3 (21 and up theatre) and saw Adventureland. Nothing spectacular, but decent enough to have seen, I guess. We then went to meet a couple friends of Josh and Alina’s at a bar/restaurant and then afterwards I went back to hang out at the house and organize everything – while Alina and Josh went to another place to have a few drinks and hang out. I wound up staying up until 2:30am and packing, organizing, and doing some restocking of supplies from Safeway at midnight. Exciting, I must say – ha!
