While we were on our trip to Seattle, Dave and some of my design friends drove to Portland for a day of fun. I’m not sure what I was expecting (maybe a sketch out of Portlandia?), but it exceeded all expectations. Food was great (Blue Star donuts—best donut I’ve ever had!, Nong’s Khao Man Gai, Pok Pok, Sen Yai, Salt & Straw, Stumptown coffee), public transit cheap ($1?!), attractions fun (Powell’s books, … okay, we didn’t really do much shopping). We did make a few stops at parks, including the top of Mount Tabor, Joseph Woodhill Park, and Ecola State Park. It was so beautiful at Ecola park, I wanted to pause everything.
