Portland : Waterfalls and Mountains…

Darce and I took a break from footie (who wouldn’t after that drab England match) to visit Portland Oregon and the wonderful Waterfall Corridor in Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. 

It is home to dozens of magical waterfalls, including well-known ones like Multnomah Falls & Horsetail Falls.  Plenty of rainbows too 🌈

Our guide Seth was excellent & brought whole area to life. A perfect day away from World Cup circus & reminder that nature can put on better show than some football teams.

What Did We Just Watch?

Trevor and I stumbled into LGBTQ+ bar Beaux in the Castro and there was a drag brunch cabaret on.  Only…. What the Hell!!

Queenceañera…

“Why is everyone wearing red dresses?”

“Because it’s red dress day!”

Fair enough 

I spoke to the organisers. 

“We started it 8 years ago. Queenceañera. It isn’t for anything. It’s just gay men having fun on the Castro. For shits and giggles.” 🏳️‍🌈💃
