It was a wonderful, sunny first day in Portland. Lisa and I spent the morning wandering nearby forested trails, stopping to smell the flowers and sample the various fruits we encountered along the way (not pictured: blackberries, blueberries, and figs).

We capped off the warm summer day with an outdoor concert by the Avett Brothers out at Edgefield. The historic property, built in 1911 as the county poor farm, went through several iterations before it was purchased by the McMenamin brothers in 1990. They restored many of the buildings, turning the old dormitory into an artsy hotel, while adding restaurants, pubs, a wine bar, movie theater, and even a golf course to the 74-acre property.

We had almost 14 hours of daylight and I think we made the most of them. Something this street art we encountered along the way reinforced.
