November 23, 2016. A nice walk to town

LOCATION:  House-sitting in Portland, Oregon WEATHER:  Some rain.  Highs in 40s   We took a nice 2-mile walk through the neighborhood toward a hamburger place for lunch.  On our way, we passed this porta-potty with a cute name....(Willy he make it?)

We went to this hamburger place last year when we were here.  We were amazed at the quality in this very unassuming shack-like place.

We split their specialty burger.  

I've commented before on how astounded I am about the quantity of food some people eat.  We watched a table of 2 young women each having her own order of this burger and fries (not sharing like we did).  Then, they ordered a huge milkshake!  Unlike the Asians, these girls showed the effect of burgers, fries and shakes.  Not a pretty sight.    The decor is retro.  Only in Portland.....a dive-type place but with quality beers and wines.  

All over Portland, we see these cannabis shops.  This one was near the hamburger place.  George checked it out.  Said there was lots of security, and it was kind of creepy.

I spend a lot of time petting and brushing Lola, our cat here.  She likes to jump on George's lap, too, making it hard to balance a beer!

DINNER:  Another recipe from a magazine that I wanted to try.  Sausage, Lentil and Kale Soup.  Delicious!
