Our first day in Portland was action packed.
We stayed at Shalanna's "Log Cabin" on our first night in town. We got ready after our wake up call from Peppy.
We finished our left over spicy fish sauce chicken wings from Pok Pok Noi to tie us over. It was still as tasty as it was from diner the night before (our first meal in Portland).
Then Niner and I took the bus down to Old Town Portland and had dinner at a cute/ chic French restaurant called Little Bird. We shared the oyster appetizer, Niner had a veggie sandwich and I had their popular Le Pigeon Burger. I also had a Orange Lavender House Soda which was delicious.
We then headed back north to Alberta Arts District. I saw this unfinished Barbie art piece outside a studio which I thought was interesting.
We then met up with Mikie who's also in town scoping out Portland as his potential new residence. We met up at Barista, had a vanilla latte as Mikie caught us up on his Portland adventures thus far.
Niner spotted this old (still functioning) phone booth on one of our walks to Shkrinty's house. It was a photo-op, of course!
In the evening Niner and I celebrated our 10-year "together" anniversary. She reserved a table for us with an amazing view of Portland and Mount Hood at a distance. The Portland City Grill is on the 30th floor and supposedly has the best view in town! It sure was amazing. There's glass all the way around the restaurant so you can get a panoramic view from all sides. We had a wonderful meal and overall had one of the best dining experiences ever.
We strolled around town afterwards and hung out at the lobby of the Ace Hotel. Then we met up Shalanna and her boss, Tim, at dinner back at Interurban Restaurant/ Bar on Mississippi.
What a fun day! Can't wait to see more!
