Portland Hospitality

Good Evening, World. I'm back.

It's been the most relaxing day I've had in a long time. Who would have thought the life of a college student could get so busy? (That was a joke.) But seriously, this is the first weekend that I've gotten to actually leave Corvallis (being the wonderful black hole of a college town that it is) and come visit my godparents in their beautiful home of Portland, Oregon.

Portland, everyone.

If I was to ever choose a "big" city to live in, it would be this one.

"One cannot live well, love well or think well, unless one has dined well."

Let me tell you, I have dined like a queen today. We woke up early (okay, early for me) for a nice Breakfast at Marco's in Multnomah Village. Peggy and Clancy have eaten there every Saturday for the past... who knows how long. It's quaint and friendly, yet has novel decor that makes me grin every time I come in.

Dinner was nothing short of delightful as we dined at a German restaurant called Gustav's near Washington Square. Fondue anyone?

This type of eating out is like gold to a college student with a tight budget. But to be honest, we could have eaten all our meals at McDonald's and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference because it was the company that made this weekend so spectacular.

Peggy and Clancy, you both never fail to spoil me. Thanks again for your generosity and hospitality. Without it, going out into this crazy world "on my own" would be a million times harder. ♥
