Sadly yes, oh and smaller cities in Oregon, I felt skinny :shock: Portland wasn't as bad but man rural Oregan was brutal people were wider then they were taller. .

Portland has the highest suicide rate of any city in the USA :shock: So boredom may have a lot to do with it. But what a way to relieve boredom :shock:

So yeah Portland IS boring. However the scenery is awesome. The city has a backdrop of this awesome Mt. Hood:

Which is actually an active volcano!!

Also things to check out if you are in Portland:

1- Downtown river... nice walk with several coffee shops

2- Powel City of Books - oldest bookstore in US

3- Voodoo Doughnut BEST doughnut i have ever had !!! no exaggeration.

4- Burnside street - tons of nice coffee shops/ restaurents/ clubs.

5- Japanese Garden

6- I had dinner at Jake's Crawfish Restaurant had excellent seafood and at good value!

7- Pearl District

8- Pioneer Square

That will keep anyone in Portland busy for a few days.

BTW fun fact about Oregon. It doesn't have sales tax!!
