Portland, Orgeon

Hi Everyone!

How are you all? Good I do hope! Today we went into Portland and had a look around - I must admit I was not overly impressed with it. Perhaps we just didn't know where the nice places to go were, but from what we saw, it was nothing special really. I think it would not be too bad if you lived there, but to visit, not so much.

Meish, after a trip to the drs to make sure her knee was okay, (it is, she just needs to rest it) headed off to meet with one of her friends from high school. So Mum, Dad and I caught the street car around and had a look at the town. We had lunch in a local brewery, called Deschutes. They specifically focused on making very hoppy beers, and had a few organic ones as well.

Then this afternoon we went to this place called VooDoo Donuts which Meish had heard about. We stood in line for 40 minutes to get these donuts! haha. But I must admit, it was kinda worth it! They had a crazy range of donuts - including maple flavoured donuts with bacon on top! There is a photo down below in case you don't believe me! We tried to get Mum to buy one of these donuts but she chickened out at the last minute! Meish got a donut that was a in the shape of a person with a pretzel "voodoo pin" sticking out of it! haha.

We came back out to the outskirts of Portland for dinner and are now setting about packing up so we can hop up in the morning and move on to our next destination!

So I hope alls well with you,
lots of love
jess xoxo
