Holiday Time in PDX

It has been insanely cold the last few days here in Portland, and the other day we even had a bit of snow! But today Patrick and I braved the below freezing temperatures (seriously, it never got above 29F!) to visit some of our favorite shops downtown to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Despite getting constantly asked to sign one petition or another, and being panhandled, I still enjoy Portland’s downtown. There is a good combination of retail chains and local shops all within easy walking distance, even for a gal in heels.  There are lots of nifty buildings too, and someone thought it would be nice to get the fountains that feature Oregon...
