OK, Portlanders… here’s some basic math for you.  What’s the sum of

        this lovely coffee            plus organic milk                plus this beauty?

The answer should be obvious, but not when you are vacationing somewhere in the food/time continuum of California’s Central Coast.  Holy hell!  I found drinkable coffee!  Our friends at Barista and Coffeehouse NW might raise and eyebrow at the latte art, but to find passable coffee here is truly miraculous.

Being here is lovely and relaxing, but it makes me realize how much I adore Portland in all of its quirks and glory.  The food and coffee available to me in P-town completely outweight the sometimes questionable weather patterns.  Maybe a plethora of sun dampens the quest for that which is truly delicious?  There’s no telling, I suppose.  But let me repeat… it sure is lovely here!
