LOCATION: House-sitting in Portland, Oregon
WEATHER: Partly cloudy. Highs about 50
Referring to a webpage called "Portland's Best Brewpubs", we planned our day's journey. We bought our day transportation pass and headed downtown on the bus.
George is fascinated by these water fountains, called bubblers by some.
After a transfer to a second bus which took us to the other side of the river, we found this well-respected brewery.
They specialize in unusual ingredients, like sea urchin water or preserved cherry blossoms or cotton candy. We stuck to more traditional fare....an IPA and a stout.
We walked about a half mile to our next destination, passing by this shop specializing in professional cuddling.
Our next stop was a very popular beer and buffalo wings joint, Fire on the Mountain. It supposedly was the first wings restaurant on the west coast, after hot wings were invented in Buffalo, New York. We ordered ours medium hot, which was just right.
We caught a bus going back downtown, where we admired the huge Christmas tree in Pioneer Sqaure.
Then, Max light rail, then bus back home. I raked leaves, but the front yard really doesn't look any different.
DINNER: Leftover sausage, kale, lentil stew.
