Portland, Oregon

We arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon.  After getting settled we went downtown to check out Voodoo Donuts, a local donut shop that’s gotten lots of attention on the Food Network.  Their creations are unique (Captain Crunch on donuts!) and quite good.  In keeping with one of our new trends, the donuts served as appetizers for a late lunch at a local Tex-Mex place.  The burritos and such were great!  They were also huge, and the big lunch late on a hot afternoon put us away.  We went back to the hotel and crashed early.

This morning I dropped Paul off at the airport.  We’re traveling separately for the next six days – I’m visiting with friends in Portland and Sacramento while he catches up with a buddy in the Bay Area.  We’ll join up again next week and complete the trip back east together.  We’ll keep you posted on our separate adventures as they unfold.

  1. I went to Portland last fall and went to Voodoo Donuts- it's amazing!!! And I don't even enjoy doughnuts! Portland is great. Did you go to Powell's Books too?? Definitely make some time for 'recycling' while you are out there ;)
