Read moreIn the heart of Astoria lies a beautiful shop named Port Hopper. Its wide windows allows you to catch a full view of the goods from across world. I was lucky enough to visit and take a look around. It is not only a shop that shows what Astoria is all about but what the world is and everything it could offer.
