Southern Oregon towards Portland
Top 5 of the day:
1. Waking up in a real bed and taking a real shower. Our motel room was actually really clean and nice (and did not smell like vomit)
2. Stopping at Bandon, OR and having lunch at Tony’s Crab Shack on the boardwalk. This place had the best smell ever! Like butter and lobster and fresh rolls! I could smell that smell instead of a meal every day and be completely satisfied.
3. Stopping in Eugine,OR and sampling a flight of microbrews on the patio at Ninkasi Brewery. They also has a stellar VW food truck on site serving paninis.
4. Racing up a giant sand dune on the coast, and then running, hopping, falling and rolling all the way down.
…more to come…
And here it is:
5Thank you Portland for the amazing reception! The first person I saw as I walked in to Lindsay’s house warming party was Heather. That was magical! We met loads of great Portlanders and discussed how Portland wins…. Hey, I can’t disagree. Who doesn’t love food trucks and flannel?!?
Molly came by and offered to bring us to the poutine food truck across town for some rock your socks off poutine. For those of you that know not what this Canadian delicacy is, let me discribe. It starts with french fries topped with cheese curds, add some peppercinis and fried onions and smother it all in gravy and there you have it: poutine….we ordered twice.
Singing Feliz Cumpleanos to Molly on the ride home was great too. Happy Birthday Moll!!!
