I apologize for such a slow blog lately: I don’t really have any excuse besides that I’ve been hanging out with my family and getting in the Christmas spirit. I’ve also been busy doing “grown up” things like applying for “real” jobs and apartment hunting! But I’ve also been doing some cool blog-worthy things like eating amazing meals at Portland’s foot trucks and hiking in America’s largest urban park. I’ll pick back up this week and next week! For now, here’s the Photo of the Week from last week, when I was in Santa Barbara, and this week, when I’ve been back in PDX.
The sun sets over the Santa Barbara Mission.
An eerie hike through Forest Park.

Love the contrast between warm and sultry and cool and aloof.
I didn’t notice that before, but it’s certainly true! Although normally I’d take the SB sunshine over the cold weather here, I am loving the snow today
