Of course I spaced on early checkin for my 8:30 AM Southwest flight from NYC to Denver. Did ya know - Southwest doesn't do seating assignments? You just get a boarding number and then it's a free for all. People are surprisingly relaxed and decently human about it! I was one of the last 10 people to board and found the last window seat in row 22! It was an easy flight. I love the geometry of mid- America:
Landed in Denver for a 45min lunch layover and then back on over the Rockies to Portland:
After landing I took an afternoon tour of Portland with my amazing law school killing cousin, Anna:
This pic sums up Portland perfectly: A little girl's first communion at a church flying a rainbow flag while a Slut Walk parades down the street:
Went to the Art Museum which has a great collection of Native American, Asian, and European art as well as a whole building dedicated to contemporary work:
Traditional basketry technique with film:
Josh Klein's Freedom installation:
Allegoric Figure of a Woman by Franz von Stuck:
Time and the Monuments by Eugene Berman:
Pandora by Hillerbrand and Magsamen:
We also enjoyed Steve McQueen's Drumroll. Then off to one of the biggest book stores: Powells
A whole art book floor later.... oops!
A little fun at a store for Portland's newly legal recreation 😉
And then dinner at Poppa Hayden's:
