Going back to the Oregon trip for this petals. Are ultimate destination was Portland. Bascially that was the turn around point and from there is was back to Minnesota. In Portland we met up with a friend of the person I was traveling with. We hung out for a bit, and decided to check out the Lan Su Chinese Garden. It was pretty awesome, but I think most gardens are when they are smack dab in the middle of a city. It is kinda like a hiding place or peace and quiet in a gigantic mess of city.
It rained. I know shocking, rain in the pacific northwest. It wasn't bad, just some drizzles and an over cast day. I was really impressed with it, as it seemed way bigger than it actually was. There were a lot of really pretty buildings and really neat carvings. I like the decorative door ways and windows the best. Did I mention fishies, there were a lot of bridges that wove a path over a big old pond.
It was one of my favorite places in the Portland area. There was something very peaceful about the gardens, it really was an escape from the city. I could have spent the day there, just taking pictures and reflecting. There were some beautiful parts that I know I didn't spend enough time in. But alas, places to go, people to see and the like. You can only spend so much time anywhere, and you always have to leave something unseen. Gives you a reason to go back.
