Oregon ho

Quick trip down to Portland, OR and dinner with Tomoko - who is a freshman at the Willamette College.

Always love visiting my favorite spots in Portland - Kenny & Zuke's for pastrami; Stumptown for cappucchino; Powells for the used books; Ace Hotel for the lime rosemary soda; Mustang Cafe for brunch with the Top Shelf boys; The Brew with the Dark Horse gang; Potato Champ for late-night poutines with rosemary ketchup.

Drving home to Seattle was looking forward to a meal at another favorite - The Rib Eye off I-5 but dismayed to find the restaurant gutted. Apparently the place has closed but the landlord is trying to find another person to run it. Bummer!
