Days 13-15: San Francisco

I very much have enjoyed San Francisco, though for entirely different reasons.

Portland, on the other hand, is what Brooklyn wishes it could be if there weren't Manhattan corporate influences coming in. There's not a lot of touristy stuff, but it seems like a fantastic place to be.
