Portland, Oregon

On Saturday, we had breakfast at Paradox Cafe, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. I had a tofu scramble hash.



After breakfast, Travis and Lizy drove us to the Mississippi Avenue area in Northeast Portland to browse the neighborhood. We got to see The Rebuilding Center (used building material non-profit resource) and The Meadow (salt/chocolate/flower shop).



We got some tacos at Por Que No?



On our way to Proust!, we ran into one of the guys that we had met at the B&B on San Juan Island! It's such a small world. We then went to snack on fresh handmade pretzels at Proust!, and Andy fulfilled his need for Kostrizer.



We headed back to SE Portland, ate dinner at Las Gorditas, which has a ridiculously large vegan menu. Then we met up with Nick (owner of Bunk and Carol's brother) at Apex.



The next morning, I decided to take it easy with the camera. We ate a hearty breakfast at City State before we picked up our rental car. Andy and I went for a solo tour of Northwest Portland where he had stayed last time. After exploring the 23rd Street area, we ate a late lunch at Cha! Cha! Cha! in the Pearl. On our way back to meet up with Travis and Lizy, we drove by Em Space, a community letterpress studio, and New Seasons to pick up food-related gifts for our family.

We went bowling with Travis and Lizy's friends from the digital design company, Instrument.

On Monday morning, we were scheduled to depart for the Oregon coast, but Andy wanted to grab a bite at Pine State Biscuits. I had the Mushroom Gravy Biscuit with a side of braised collards. I have to agree with Andy that this place has the best biscuits ever!



Of course that led to coffee at Coava before we parted ways with Travis and Lizy.
