July 2007

We finally finished moving and selling everything. We also rented out the old place very quickly so no problem there. Downtown living is much more lively than Hillsboro, there are always something going on in the summer. Here are some random pictures from various events we've been to this July.

Free Jazz music at Wallace Park near NW 23rd. Nice little park surrounded by very nice old houses. Portland put on free concerts in various park in the summer, a great way to relax after work.

4th of July - We can hear the Blues Festival from our condo so we didn't go down much this year, just walked by. This year they had 5 days of music, it was hot though - 90 degrees. The fireboat came by and put on a little show.


We watched the fireworks from our balcony, we had an awesome view. Just when it starts to get dark, we could see fireworks going off all over the city, that was a great prelude to the big show.



We have a peek-a-boo view of Mt. Saint Helen from our balcony.


Sand in the City - sand castle contest. This year they asked for a $3 donation so we just watched from outside. "wish you were here"

The Hawthorne Bridge opens up for a barge.



That's all for now. bye. :)
