Visit to Portland

Catherine & I went to Portland last weekend while Sam played Ultimate in Corvallis.

In our 20 hours we
  • took the streetcar up to the north end of the Pearl District and went to a brew pub
  • went to Powell's and spent an hour or so wandering around
  • walked to the Japanese garden
  • walked back to the hotel, on the river
  • went to Andina, where the waitress drove me nuts by repeatedly calling us "you two", as in "How were the desserts, you two?" The food was excellent though.
  • got up early and sped off to Corvallis
Very enjoyable city with a small-town feel and a pretty setting. We actually got a little sun while we were there, so it was a bit atypical.
