Things We’ve Done So Far On Our Trip To Oregon
In no particular order:
- eaten some delicious Voodoo Doughnuts
- gone to Powell’s Books, the bookstore that takes up an entire city block
- drank outstanding espresso at the coffeeshop in Powell’s and had an extremely long conversation with a random couple looking to move to Portland from Florida ((They had a new baby named Juniper and since Nancy & Jeff have a new baby, it easily led to a lengthy conversation))
- gotten lost
- cursed not being able to access the intertubes on our phones ((well, technically we *could* access them, but we are all way too cheap to pay the exorbitant US data roaming charges))
- eaten ridiculously delicious Mexican food at this little out-of-way Mexican restaurant near our out-of-the-way hotel. Twice. ((I may have also consumed the world’s largest margarita at this restaurant)).
- eaten at an excellent pub in downtown Portland
- sample some fine Oregon beers
- visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where we saw sharks, sea otters, sea lions, seals, auks and a host of other creatures
- eaten at an excellent restaurant on the water in Newport
- driven along the coast highway
- watched the sun set over the Pacific
- done some outlet shopping ((Though I was the most interested in going outlet shopping, I bought the least. There were only a few things I liked and those things were either (a) not available in my size, or (b) too expensive. I ended up buying one tank top at Ann Taylor for $20.99!))
