Every time Jenn and I visit Portland, it’s usually for about 3 or 4 days. The last few trips, we started counting Toyota Priuses, since I’m obsessed with them (see the car silhouette above), and there’s way more of them in the Portland area than in the exurbs of Vancouver where Jenn and I currently live. Our counts have always been exactly 50, the last one usually counted while we’re over the Columbia River, not quite in Washington yet. This time, we’ve been in Portland not two full days, and we’re already at 58.

I love this town. There’s just something in the air here (and it’s not carbon).
