Forest Park: Done!

This week, two friends and I carved out some time to visit Forest Park. It looks like the rain has started so I think we made it just in time. Everyone says this, but it's amazing to be so immersed in nature only minutes from the city. It felt like we were literally wrapped up in the autumn season; crisp, cool air and leaves of every shade....

So that's one more thing crossed off my list:


Eight left to go:
10. Movie Brewpubs
9. Strip Clubs
8. Voodoo Donuts
7. Lan Su Chinese Garden
6. Food Cart Tour
5. International Rose Test Garden
4. Powell's Books
3. Microbrews and Spirits
2. Ride Over The Bridges
1. Forest Park

 

Food Cart Tour: Done!

Well, I wouldn't really call it done, but today I did visit Nong's Khao Man Gai recommended by Time

 

 

 

It was as delicious as it looks. Do you have any food cart suggestions?

Top Ten Portland

 

There are a daunting number of things I want to do now that I am in the Northwest. For now I think I will stick to accomplishing Times 's list of the top ten things to do in Portland:
  
10. Movie Brewpubs 
      Time recommends McMenamins 
9. Strip Clubs

      WELL, maybe I'll skip this one  
        (only Portland would have a "vegan strip club")
8. Voodoo Donuts
      Enough said.
7. Lan Su Chinese Garden
      I think I'll save this for when I have visitors 
6. Food Cart Tour
      Well under way, but I haven't tried this one  
5. International Rose Test Garden
      Postpone until June 
4. Powell's Books 
      I can see myself getting lost here
3. Microbrews and Spirits
      If you insist 
2. Ride Over The Bridges
      Yikes! This can wait until I have my own bike
1. Forest Park
      Unbelievable that this kind of beauty is so close

Guess I better get crackin' 

Any more suggestions?
