Tamara and I stayed in Portland for 2 nights and one full day. The first night we drove into the downtown area to experience a bit of the Portland nightlife. Downtown Portland is hopping with bars and restaurants and there were people all over the place. We also visited the famous Powell's Books, a massive book store that claims to be the largest independent new and used bookstore in the world. The next day we rode around the Willamette River, which splits the city into two. Then we had a wonderful dinner with Allison's parents, sister, and uncle. After that Tamara and I ventured into another hip area and had dessert at Pix Patisserie, a cute French pastry place where you sit shoulder-to-shoulder with other patrons and can enjoy "one of our craft beers, a tasty dessert wine or Batdorf & Bronson coffee." The next morning we set out on our long and arduous 620 miles long journey to Arco, Idaho.

| Like Diddy Reise in Westwood, Portland also has a cheap dessert place that people will gladly wait 30 minutes in line for. |
 |
| Called Voodoo Doughnut, this place serves some of the craziest doughtnuts you've ever imagined. The one on the left is covered in chocolate, caramel, and oreo bits while the one on the right is custard filled with a chocolate shell. They were so big we could barely eat half, but they made for a tasty breakfast the next morning. |

| We rode around the riverfront in this "deuce coupe". |

| Over the Willamette River |
 |
| The beautiful waterfront |
 |
| The famous Food Carts of Portland |
 |
| Pix Patisserie was packed to the brim. The waiter is blurry because he was moving so fast! |
 |
| We had chocolate beer with mocha flavored ice cream and The Concord, which is "chocolate meringue, chocolate mousse, and chocolate ganache hidden by sticks of meringue and a single red ribbon." Delicious! |
 |
| Thanks again Allison and Oren! We had a great time! |
