Sunday on Sauvie Island

For those of you not from Portland, which is probably most of you, Sauvie Island is the best place on earth. It's an island in the Willamette river, and it looks like something out of a fairytale. My mom, my sister, and I went there on Sunday after I had had a particularly crappy Saturday at work. It was the perfect thing.

Yes, they have clothing optional beaches... 

So what did you do this weekend?

A Trip to the Museum

Last week, I went to the Portland Art Museum with a friend from work. We had both been wanting to see The Art of the Louvre's Tuileries Garden, which ends on the 21st of this month. We both had the day off, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity! Also, it turns out, that if you're a student you can get a year pass at the museum for $15! Fantastic. I bought one.

This was a little to-scale model of the Louvre palace. I love these little models. There's always so much detail put into them. This was one of the first things you saw when you went into the exhibit.

This is a panorama I took of all the statues that were in a certain room of the exhibit. This was literally my first successful panorama picture-- THEY ARE SO HARD TO TAKE. 

This was a beautiful statue that doubled as a column.

The above three pictures are from the Asian art section. It was Turkish pottery, and a Turkish child's vest. Isn't the detail fantastic?
