Portland and Corvallis

So this is a one week round up of the first week in Corvallis which included a trip to Portland 😁
About a 2 hour bus ride from Corvallis, Portland was pretty cool to see (although the bus/train station is in a pretty dodgy location!) We went to Washington Park for a meander and a general gander around town on the west side before we ventured over to the east. I preferred the east, was a nice residential area where Cristina used to live, there was some fab street art and food trucks for a late lunch 🙂
We also visited the highest point in Corvallis - Mary's Peak where we saw a friendly woodpecker and heard an ominous noise we didn't know what... so did the sensible thing and turned around in case it was some large human eating mamal 🤣 🐆🐾
Also visited one of the 79 winerys in the area which i got very excited about 🍷🍷🍷, went tubing down Willamette River (Cristina got stuck waaaay far back, you may see an orange dot in one of the pics, that is her! was fun trying to coordinate ourselves against the flow... we did see an otter as well 🦦)
We also went to see the Barbie movie in a cute little cinema in downtown Corvallis!Read more
