Week 19 May 6 - 12

PORTLAND

Not the same Portland we all know and "love", but Portland Oregon. Now I have to admit, this was not the first time to Portland, but the first trip consisted of landing at the airport, sleeping in a hotel just down the road, and leaving. So, I don't consider this visiting Portland.

This visit wasn't much more, but I got to go downtown and visit Henry's 12th Street Tavern.....and downtown in general. What a cool city! Right on the Columbia and Wilemette Rivers. The city itself has an interesting architecture. Trees and greenery incorporated in much of the city scape. It's like a hip Ewok Village.

There was definitely a nice vibe. Real people who were not pretentious and love their beer. Henery's Tavern was cool. They had an ice slab on the bar to keep your beverage cold! Genius!

This is definitely a city that I would love to go back and explore with Jenny! Well, maybe with all my buddy's too. After all, I heard it was the "Strip Club Capitol of the World".....(interesting....)

Anyway, in my recent travels to our Northwest Territory, Portland is definitely an impressive place. I recommend you visit.
