Quick trip to Portland. The weather could not have been better, and Portland itself is, like, ten degrees warmer than Seattle. The main attraction for us was Powell’s, a bookstore the size of a city block that is unrelated to the one in Hyde Park. We made sure to visit Salt & Straw, get coffee, visit a new-wave themed food truck, and more coffee. We were looking for a quality veggie burger—and when the place we found online turned out to be not at all vegetarian friendly, we walked into a bar next door and to our delight discovered we were in a vegetarian restaurant, the Sweet Hereafter.
The day we left, we visited the Peninsula Park Rose Garden (apparently roses are a big thing in Portland) and we went through the 36 questions to fall in love from the New York Times.
