I was kicking myself for not having a picture of a few. Meanwhile this modern style caught my eye as well (but it's not my favorite).  And the purple below was one of the more vivid attractions.

Yet I think we went the first 3 days without noticing a dispensary. When I first learned about tolerance laws just a few years back I imagined a very visible drug culture out there in public. That might exist more in Eugene, yet Portland showed no street side parties (to my limited views).

-- caffeinate, 
-- sleepy drug (Benadryl) 
-- go natural. 
I'm living & learning.....bottom line: forcing sleep is not wise. 
Edgy body was restless but mind was zombified. 
Next time I'll go natural and sit on the aisle.
By the way....we saw the sun set in Portland and the sun rise in Cincinnati. Weird.

This place takes no shortcuts with a microwave. So while we knew we had time there was mild nail biting. The flavors and textures were worth the wait. Delicious! However the coconut cream pie for dessert did not pack the punch for flavor.....mostly a whipped cream pie.]]> 2017-07-25 20:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ganancj/EverydayPortland/wish/179432925 Eccletic Shopping ganancj https://padlet.com/ganancj/EverydayPortland/wish/179454388 2017-07-26 01:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ganancj/EverydayPortland/wish/179454388 Division Street Parade ganancj https://padlet.com/ganancj/EverydayPortland/wish/179625788 A community celebration for no apparent reason except fun and friendships .]]> 2017-07-28 03:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ganancj/EverydayPortland/wish/179625788
