SÉJOUR
An online photo series of stories, memories, lingering moments never to be forgotten from a few of the places that have captured my heart completely. Come away with me....
Picture
Caption: Portland
Caption: Portland, in Oregon USA is a small city that offers so much to discover for the curious traveler. The most microbreweries in one
American city, top notch food of all kinds and food trucks abound. Victorian homes and enchanting brick apartments as dreams as made of, eclectic and vibrant neighbourhoods and offbeat arts streets invite and delight. A feast for the eyes and tastebuds, it is a small city worth visiting with an independent spirit all its own.

For my french-loving heart the outdoor tables at Annex Bar were such an enchanting surprise, for lingering over raspberry lemonade cocktails and truffle oil fries together, people watching, tandem bicycles passing by...
