Welcome to the Carnival of Cities blog carnival, where we tour the world in a single post, via submissions from a variety of different blogs, all about any aspect of one, single city (or fair-sized town.)

Thanks to Best Family Travel Advice for hosting the previous edition, and we look forward to the next one on April 6, hosted by Travel with Teens and Tweens.

If you would like to host a future Carnival edition on your blog (May 18 and June 1 are still open) please contact me at Sheila “at” sheilascarborough “dot” com. Thanks!

So creative, so historic, and so wonderfully weird. I was very excited to continue my truly epic West Coast Journey by returning to Portland before I headed further south. Now, I could either give you the “director’s cut” of the story, or I could share some of the gory details with you, like the bit about how my first attempt to get out of Seattle didn’t work… at all. I’m going to do the latter here; because I want to emphasize the importance of having a Plan B and being flexible. Thankfully though, this story ends in a stunning rainbow!”
