MORE Portland Fun...................

Saturday, Lori and Pam hit the road and drove from Sacramento to Portland, all in one day.  They recently purchased a new Audi so they said the ride was wonderful.  We've been enjoying warm weather so Sunday, after a leisurely breakfast. we went to Multnomah Village to do some shopping.  Our favorite places were a small book store and a clothing store, "Switch" that features designer clothes from Israel.  This place has unique and beautiful clothing so Lori went a little "crazy" and bought several new outfits.  They look fabulous on her!




Sunday night we celebrated Roger's upcoming birthday with a dinner at Iorio.  The girls all had homemade pasta dishes and Roger enjoyed fresh caught fish.  We never tire of eating there!











This morning Roger had a painting class so we girls hopped onto the streetcar and went to "Tasty and Alder" for breakfast.  It was our first time there (but not last).  Their menu is different from any others and the place was jumping, even on a Monday morning.

Check out the menu - it's eclectic and the food is delicious.


Our next stop was "Blue Star Donuts" where we bought a bacon/maple - lemon Meyer key lime -  dark chocolate with custard filling and blueberry with basil and bourbon.  This is more of an "upper crust" donut shop - very different from VooDoo Doughnuts.................

Now the girls are on their way to Seattle where they will spend two nights before returning to Portland for the remainder of the week.   We already have a list of places to go and things to see - The Portland Art Museum - "Imperial" for lunch - Powell's - and Living Room Theater.

That's all for now...................... time for a donut...........................
