As a true Portlander I made like a bird and got the hell out of town for a few days. Thanks to a fantastic client and project, I spent some time in Florida recently (have I ever told you I love what I do? I love what I do!). And while it was a short trip, and one I mainly spent working, don't think I didn't enjoy every single bit of sunshine, warmth and loveliness. I brought you back some photos...
Bouganvilla is such a common plant in warmer areas, yet so exotic to those of us from the north.

This is called color. We don't see much of it in Portland during our dreary season.

Warm weather was made for mojitos.

Morning walks around the lagoon, in the sunshine, short sleeves, and sunglasses.

Did you see the headline in the Oregonian a week or so ago? "Scary orange orb in the sky will go away"....or something like that. It really is getting ridiculous. I'm glad you got to escape, and I wish I were there too!
ok, looks like you had way too much fun! good for you! well-deserved.
