Paradise looks like:

After four months in New York, Portland really does seem like paradise. I blame it on the incredible contrast. Portland has just a little bit of everything good. It's a quiet, understated city near the mountains and the ocean. The climate is mild and the food is outstanding. The quality of the coffee makes having the addiction no fun once you've left. I love Portland too easily. I could get drawn in again and then find myself bored and soggy in no time at all.
