Four blocks away from our home is the epic, Saturday Farmers' Market at PSU.  Anne went this morning and brought back a bunch of beautiful produce and cheese. She encouraged me to explore before she left for her fourth day to stage at Beast. I really wasn't looking forward to studying Greece today, so I went. The day is breathtaking; the Farmers' Market is crazy!

I bought a gorgeous NY Strip from Sexton Ranches, a nice family operation. I look forward to eating it tonight!

The Portland Art Museum, which is literally next door to our home, is running an exhibition of classic automobiles.

All along Park Avenue were these pristine, antique cars.

I couldn't resist another food truck experience, today's winner, The People's Pig.

I got this delicious Porchetta sandwich with arugula and lemon, plus cycling advice. I totally appreciate it.

I'm running low on coffee, so I walked to Stumptown at the Ace Hotel next. Thanks for the Rwanda coffee recommendation!

A quad espresso is always obligatory.

Then, just around the corner from Stumptown Coffee is Vinopolis. I bought a bottle of Chablis and Vacqueyras, for tonight's feast with Anne.

I've spent more money this week at Vinopolis than I care to admit.

So maybe I've delayed my studying today, but "Hey!" I awoke to this situation before a 21 mile bike ride, a chilly and sunny 51-degree morning. And right now? It's 73-degrees and perfect. Nice.
