Notes and drawing from my sketch book from our May WA/OR trip. This was sitting in the Doug Fir lounge in the Jupiter Hotel. If you're staying in Portland I highly recommend the Jupiter Hotel. Swanky and fun. I also highly recommend getting to know Fred & Ginger. My new favorite drink.
In my garage there is a big red couch. My big red couch is a place of solitude where I retreat (in my mind) when I need some peace and quiet. The couch really does exist but it is heaped with camping gear at the moment so it is not somewhere I can physically sit. I will squat here in the bloggosphere until I get the use of My Big Red Couch back.
