    Default Vegan Vacation Portland August 3-9

    Hey folks,

    I wanted to let you know about this awesome event I'm helping to spread the word on.

    The upcoming Vegan Vacation gathering was inspired by the great folks from http://www.veganfitness.net who have yearly meet-ups. These meet-ups have generally happened over in Europe and so Robert Cheeke of http://www.veganbodybuilding.com decided to organize a gathering based in the united states.

    The basic idea is to have a get-together of the Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness forum members to hang out and meet in person, but everyone is welcome! You dont even have to be Vegan or into bodybuilding & fitness - just come out for good times and to see what this is all about!

    While the Vegan Vacation gathering is still in the planning stages, there will definitely be a variety of activities focused on fitness, great food, veganism & generally having fun! Most events will be free or low-cost. Organizers will provide as much free housing and food as possible. YOUR assistance and ideas are welcomed!

    Originally, the Vegan Vacation location was going to be Los Angeles, California. For a variety of reasons, the gathering location has been switched to Portland, Oregon.

    So Why Portland?

    Here's just a sampling of what Portland has to offer:

    - Portland is the #1 Vegan Friendly City in America
    - Portland is one of the most beautiful and clean cities in America
    - Portland is one of the fittest cities in America with all kinds of outdoor activities during the beautiful summer for athletes to take part in
    - Portland is only an hour from the Pacific Ocean so we can still "hang out on the beach"
    - Portland has more vegan and vegetarian restaurants per capita than pretty much anywhere
    - Portland actually has vegan soft serve ice cream that comes out of the machines (kinda like a Dairy Queen, but vegan)
    - There are many forum members in Portland and around the region so we are sure to have a nice turnout and lots of local tour guides
    - Portland has lots of other attractions such as being
    located near Mt. Hood and Mt. Saint Helens, Seattle, Olympia, Eugene, Vancouver & Victoria plus all kinds of great wild nature, rivers and mountains.
    - Did I mention that we have Food Fight!, the ALL VEGAN 7-11 type convenience store?1?

    This is only a few weeks away. It's a shame more of you won't be able to make it. It looks like we'll have a pretty good turnout and it should be a lot of fun.

    There is a rough itinerary up on www.veganbodybuilding.com

    No way! How did all of that stuff get crammed into Portland? I never realized that people actually lived in Oregon, let alone so many vegans!

    I've heard it was gorgeous though. I'll have to visit some day
