It rained all day today in Portland.. which is normal for this time of year. .. People here just ignore the rain so we did too. ISpeaking of rain.. here are some nterestign factoids we looked up while in San diego.. WHile San diego  gets only 15 inches of rain a year, Portland gets 35 inches of rain. while burlington vt gets 42 inches per year.. Houston (where i’m from) is the rainiest city in all of the US with 50 inches a year !) 

Anyway.. we took a nice dog run tot he park… and the hardware store in the drizzle.. and it felt great !  We loved seeing the flowers !

also fun to soak up portland culture from bumper stickers 

Tonight we went out to Mirasata, a vegan sri lankan place up the street from Gabe.. might be my favorite resturant in portland. Parmis joined us too which was fun.. shes super nice

THen we headed to Movie madness to get a movie.. I love that place.. they  claim to be the biggest surviving video store in the us.. they have a great collection of movie memorabilia too.. like this  dress that michelle yeoh wore  in the best movie ever:  everything, everywhere all at once !

we settled on the movie ‘Contact’ with jodie foster.. such a great movie. Its based on the book by Carl Sagan.. My brother has a theory that sagan wrote the story after being  taken across space to meet another species.. and thats how he contracted the rare cancer that eventually killed him. 

I had some more nova time which  I needed before going tomorrow. 

 

Also got another mini concert !

Heading home tomorrow
Its been a really great visit.. !

nite all, nite sam
