gems of the weekend.





This weekend was full of bike rides around the city, farmer's markets, and picnics by the water--soaking in all of the wonderful things that make Portland such a perfect place to be in the summertime. I finally had a macaroon from the famous Pix Patisserie (per Lauren's appreciated insistence) that was definitely worth the hype. We ate the healthiest brunch of our lives at Verde Cocina, a farm-to-fork-promoting food stand at the PSU Farmer's Market that cooks up the fresh veggies that are being offered at the market that day. A long bike-ride along the river to the opposite side of town got us to drinking craft ale out of Mason Jars from a school bus brewery at the Alberta Street Fair. I think it is safe to say that biking and eating comprised majority of the weekend, so it was the best sort of weekend, if I do say so myself.
