July 18 // Portland, Oregon

Not a whole lot to report on today, as it was pretty much a lay-low and take it easy day before our 12-hour drive tomorrow to Salt Lake City. We had lunch at a great bakery called Pearl Bakery complete with the artisan bread, and tasty ingredients like roasted eggplant and sun-dried tomatoes. Positively delicious.

Following the advice of a parking enforcement attendant, we checked out a HUGE new and used bookstore in the Pearl district of Portland called Powell’s Bookstore. It had several floors of books, each floor pretty large in size and a vast selection of new and used books. I’m not a huge bookstore person, but this place was massive and worth checking out.

There was a world beer festival going on nearby, but I didn’t think Natalie would want me going off and spending my evening at some beer festival while she sat in the hotel watching TV.

We stopped back at our hotel for awhile and then had dinner at some greek restaurant nearby. It was alright, but not worth blogging about. Oh wait, I just did. Eh, it wasn’t worth mentioning the name.

Anyway, it was a low-key day. On to Salt Lake City tomorrow.
