Today was amazing. Jeremy went to visit one of his long-time friends, so I decided to spend the day walking around Portland, riding the awesome streetcars, and just having a chill day to myself. As I was walking down the street, I saw a guy(Justin) I met on the plane ride out there. We had chatted quite a bit about travel etc.. Anyways, he was out walking with his friend Randi with whom he was staying with, and they invited me to hang out with them. I ended up spending the entire day with them! Randi just moved out there herself about 2 months prior but she seemed to know the city well, so first we walked to a nice little street fair where I bought a nice little bamboo flute ($15), then we took a train across the river to the South East side. It was a really cool strip with all kinds of shops, restaurants and cafes. After that, we went and hung out for awhile at her apartment. From there I took the streetcar(free) down to Portland State University to hear the Saturday night NWEAMO concert. I am so glad I ran into those guys today. I enjoy walking around towns by myself but having some fun people to hang out with was really great. Here's a pic:
