Day 17 Portland, Oregon

Last day in Portland and I started it off right by going to Voodoo Doughnuts. I had to get there before six o'clock because it gets packed. It's an amazing doughnut shop that's open 24 hours and if you don't get there early, the line for their doughnuts goes out the door and down the street. It's not easy deciding what kind to get, they have 50 to select from. I randomly picked a Maple Bacon Bar, a Portland Cream, and a Ain't That a Peach. I want to tell you, they're really great, not too sweet, just perfect. Check them out ( www.voodoodoughnut.com/doughnuts). No wonder they line up.

After that healthy breakfast we met Larry, Linda and Sarah Zeigenfuss for lunch over across the river in Vancouver, Washington. We met at a neat riverside restaurant called Beaches Restaurant and Bar. It was a very pleasant lunch and good conversation. They provided much needed information for the rest of our trip around Oregon. It was really nice seeing them and catching up on things.

Needless to say, we didn't need anymore food so we pretty much skipped eating for the rest of the day, except for a soft pretzel and a few drinks at Red Sky Tavern. It was a good soft pretzel too. And, that's all we did. Tomorrow it's off and up to Astonia, the most northwester town in Oregon,
