Experiences as an Oregano; Portland Edition

We eventually made our way up to Portland, where we explored the downtown area. Along 10th street there are some really great antique/vintage shops. Unfortunately, prices ran a bit high, as they tend to with vintage stores, but that didn't make it any less fun to browse the selection of things.

I can't remember the intersection exactly, but there is a Goodwill that is literally called "Goodwill on 10th" and it is where the Goodwill's in that area send all the items that are "designer". It was fairly quiet in the store (it honestly felt a little like a museum haha) so I didn't take many pictures because the shutter of my camera sounded like Godzilla walking through a forest.

My mother purchased a cute little Russian teapot that I was able to take a photo of. Stay tuned for said teapot in...

Just kidding, I won't go all the way down to 0. Naomi would slap me for being ridiculous.

While in the area, we stopped by the International Rose Test Garden. WARNING: it is very hard to drive in the streets there, so if you every find yourself wanting to go, be sure you either have a GPS or a passenger with a keen eye for direction. 

There is this beautiful amphitheater that is tucked away behind many shrubs. I'd definitely make the effort to find it again though, I think it was one of the highlights of my trip.
