Portland is a diverse, vibrant, eclectic city; apparently, it has one of the highest parks-per-capita ratios in the United States. From several parks, there are exquisite views of the neighboring snow peaks.

How could i drink this beautiful mocha latte? It's got a fern made out of milk-froth! I drank it anyway (after taking this photo)---i can always get another one at Jim and Patty's Coffee on NE Fremont St. |
