Thanks to Jennie and PJ for providing us with a place to stay in Portland!! They had other friends visiting too, so there were 7 people, 2 cats, and a dog in a one bedroom, one bathroom condo, but it all worked out quite well. We ate very well in Portland--you just walk 15 feet and there's another great restaurant or microbrewery. In the course of a day and a half, we were at a Mexican place, a sushi place, a little bit of everything place called Elephants, food carts with all sorts of ethnic foods (I got a falafel sandwich, Holly got tacos), a real frozen yogurt place, Rogue Ales, Deschutes Brewery, and a crepe place with the best name ever (Le Happy). But that's not all we did in Portland...we visited the international rose test garden, walked along the waterfront, got lost in Powell's books, and saw M.C. Escher and Chris Jordan exhibits at the Portland Art Museum. Also, we watched (in Holly's words) the world's most saddest documentary ever called Dear Zachary. Sad and frustrating, but a good documentary.

Appears that the trip is moving along very well, I only have two questions:
ReplyDelete1) Who ate the Gummies off the Steering wheel
2) How is item #12 on your list of things you want to see coming along?
Hello JJ and HI! I really am enjoying the blog with the pretty pictures and the amusing anecdotes :) About the baby otter yall are bringing home... Should I get it some glasses and a cape? I would hope that it already has a wand!
ReplyDeleteAlso, while I'm really glad yall are having fun but I can't wait for you to get home! :) And I'm really jealous that you got to stay in a yurt! So cool.

ReplyDeleteJamie ate the gummies off the steering wheel. She's the one who put them on there (and licked them a little bit to make them stick better).
ReplyDeleteWe have showered every day. Holly actually likes to shower twice a day sometimes. Really. Morning and night.
And yes, On the Road Again has made a few appearances on mixes!
