Day 5: Portland to E-ville
QOTD: Hey, we’re gonna get a great view of the bridge
Pics: Rotating bike sculpture, Blue Star
Donuts, triple utility box pole (and you thought THB wasn’t going to post a
utility box pic?), more BS Donuts, unusual bike, D&S, THE BAY BRIDGE hours
before re-opening, the new BART extension years before opening at Oakland
Airport, Rudy’s Can’t Fail
Weather: Pleasant, light clouds, probably 70s
DB does the coffee run, no NYT today, toast and peach (from
farmer’s market, excellent). We leave at 7:30 for a walk up towards PSU and the
foothills above town, meeting S&D at Blue Star for donuts. Donuts? Yep, and
worth an hour walk: beignet and chocolate (soft) topped ganache (or something
fancy like that, around $2.50 each (S&D walk over from The Louisa, meet us
and treat).
Back to The Louisa to pack and ease our way into lunch
along with more chit-chat and golf on the tellie, tuna from Whole Foods along
with sushi and salmon, and a bit of the A’s game.
Two hour flight back to Oakland with a great pass over the
last hours of the Bay Bridge before it reopens with a new east span.
Dinner at Rudy’s Can’t Fail: BLAT with egg over hard, taco
salad without the shell, wine and iced tea, $38.
