On to Portland

It was raining hard on our way to Portland. Luckily that was really the only bad weather day we had. After a quick stop at Multnomah Falls we arrived at Lisa's house. She made a darn good veggie chili to warm up our tummies.

We started the next day with breakfast at the Cup and Saucer. They veggie biscuits and gravy were excellent, just wished they poured a little more gravy or gave you less biscuits. We drove around checking out some different neighborhoods and few more parks. Yari managed to get into a spat with a pitbull mix. Luckily the fight never escalated to a full-on battle but it was a little disheartening to see our little guy get rowdy.

A bit of fall folliage at Laurelhurst




We met Lisa at the Lucky Lab dog-friendly brewery. At least a dozen big dogs roamed the outer area. THE Lucky Lab sat at a picnic table and longingly peered through the window, patiently waiting his owner's return.

We ate dinner near Lisa's house and popped into the Backstage Bar. It looked awesome and was appropriately! A huge mural decorated the end of the building and the ceiling was several stories high with exposed beams and brick. Next we ventured to downtown Portland to the Someday Lounge to see Starfucker. Fun show and the opening acts were equally entertaining from the cellist to the wide-eyed, intense singer.
