Some friends from back in the Brooklyn “day” are on a six-week trip driving across the US and back. They spent Monday evening and yesterday with Dustin and me, exploring Portland. Nothing like trying to give someone a sense of a city in 24 hours to make one stop and contemplate the city. We decided that a sampling of Portland restaurants was definitely in order. After much debate, D & I settled on Castagna, Pix, McMenamins Chapel Pub, and Farm. Then of course there was coffee: Stumptown and Albina Press. We also visited Powell’s, tried to see the view of the completely cloud-obstructed Mount Hood from the barren (Oops, wrong time of year…) Rose Garden, and wandered around the shops on Mississippi. If the weather had been better I think we’d have done more outdoor stuff, but as it was we filled the day. Of course, it was lovely to see them.
Michael, Sarah, me, Dustin
