We had nice weather on Earth Day, so we headed downtown for the Urban Earth Day. I thought the use of the work "urban" to refer to Portland was funny :) We ate cheap hotdogs and enjoyed the people. All of them friendly, some of them very strange. One woman had her pants hanging below her butt, with a short jacket on, and what turned out to be a gold swimsuit hanging out. The worst part was that the seat of the suit was so worn thin it was quite transparent. Later, she took her shirt off to dance and she had a black bra on under the one-piece swimsuit. Odd. Oh, and she had a fierce mullet.
Later we sat on the monument and people watched. Well, Rudi and I sat on the wall surrounding it while the girls (first Riley, then Avery joined her) climbed up to sit on the actual monument. There were a couple of guys up there next to Riley, I'd say probably around 20 years old. They started talking to Riley about music and stuff. It was cute. When it was finally time to go, Riley said "Let me say goodbye to the guys" and she went and said goodbye and shook their hands. It was so cute. She said that she loves Maine because everyone is friendly here. Her words.
