Today it was slightly cooler out, though the locals still thought it was too hot. At 84 degrees. (Sigh. I wish we had 84 degree summers in Austin!)
i hid the bat in justin’s pants pocket as i was putting away laundry last week :: he made his way to portland!
in the 2nd floor lobby of our hotel, a pop-up concert :: her voice was a trumpet, a heartbreak, a memory
espresso con panna from stumptown
it looked so pretty on the lobby table
after some walking around town, we headed to the portland saturday market :: these flowers were so pretty
being on the willamette reminded me of new orleans somehow :: except with jet skis
this is my “don’t take my photo” face
i think it’s time to dye my hair :: and get a tattoo
cutest sign at the market
my love
kalua pig plate lunch :: poke :: kimchi :: mai tai :: dark and stormy :: we love this place
look, dad! they still have arco here!
the locals
gorgeous display outside the supercute woodsman market
adding to my collection
justin’s birthday present :: i don’t know what this is but he loved it
dinner at grüner :: potato croquettes stuffed with raclette :: tomatoes with freekeh, kale chiffonade and creme fraiche :: liptauer with radishes and pretzel croutons :: ricotta zucchini dumplings :: maultaschen :: fantastic
after dinner we headed back to powell’s for more book shopping
of note: restaurants don’t put ice in their water here
good night!
