Of course the day was cloudy in Portland. But we slept well in David’s guest room, and his mom was super sweet and asian, and cooked us a big hearty breakfast.

David accompanied us to visit Powell’s books, and I promised myself that I would read the 100 Franklin Institute’s best books because I need to be cultured or something.

We drove to the Multnomah falls area to oversee the columbia river gorge, and the day started to clear up thankfully

We had to shower under the waterfalls, so we walked near it, and didnt even have to go close to it to get completely soaked.

There are numerous falls along the road, and you can stop at any of them and see the individual and different falls

the main multomah falls has a climb of 1.5 miles up, which we sped walk through because we were short on time. i thought i was going to pass out, damn. And due to our obnoxiously recognizable van, connor and freddie met up with us!
