where young people go to retire

Had a week off between the end of spring semester and the start of summer clinical rotations so Jon and I decided to go to Portland! We road tripped up there (10hrs!) and brought our bikes. Jon has been revamping my bike for the past year to make it less fixie and more classic. We had a list of food (and bike) places to check out. Most of my food pics are on my Instagram.

Day 1 // Velo Cult, PokPok, Whiskey Soda Lounge
Day 2 // Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Ace Hotel, Blue Star Donuts, waterfalls, Country Cat, Kinfolk, Salt & Straw, Nhong's Khao Man Gai, Velo Cult (again)
Day 3 // BIKE DAY!!! Tasty n Sons, Pearl District, Powell's Books, West End Bicycles, Poler Outdoor Stuff, Tanner Goods, Snow Peak, boutiques, River City Bicycles, Por Que Non, Hopwork's Urban Brewery, Pix Patisserie
Day 4 // Stumptown, Brunch Box



Portland is an amazing city! Everyone is so friendly, huge bike culture, cheap and good food, inexpensive living, NO TAX! Seriously thinking of moving to Portland in the future.

Alamere Falls

Finally got around to editing and posting photos from a long time ago (these are from MARCH!) I'm officially on summer break with no school and no clinic. I have some time to relax and slowly prepare myself for another two semesters of non-stop schooling.

If anyone is looking for a hike to do in the Bay Area, I will recommend this hike. It's relatively easy with a beautiful view. Just make sure you have enough gas because gas is expensive in Bolinas, CA. Alamere Falls is considered a "tide-fall" because it empties straight to the ocean. According to Wikipedia, there are only 18 in the world that do this, 3 in the US and 2 in CA.
