July

Hi everyone,
The past week was so hot in Portland. We had a whole week of really hot weather, but it's getting better now. I went swimming a few times and it was really nice, usually the pool is way too cold.

Here is our community vegetable garden. This was a really good idea. We get salad, mustard greens, herbs, peppers and more from here.

Mustard greens, we use this to make side dish greens to go with BBQ.

Hobi likes to drink from the tap.


I made Chinese style breakfast. Khao tom, egg, pork fu, and the red tofu.


dinner - we got shrimps from Uwajimaya. yum...
4th of July fireworks was great this year.
We just spent 4th of July by ourselves this year and listen to the Blues festival music.
farmer market, we got all kind of nice produce from the farmer market every Saturday.

I got these little carrots from the farmer market. They tasted really good, much more flavorful than the usual supermarket carrots.

The Portland Art Museum had one free day on Sunday and we went for the it. PAM just got this Ganesh statue and that day they had all kind of activities for kids to do.

They also had an MC Escher exhibit. This was really cool, very fascinating.
Sand in the City - big foot.

MAX from Where the Wild things are.
This guy has a really nice parrot.

The new MAX train is going to start running in September. It will come right near our building, only 2 blocks away.
