I've been hosting a girlfriend this past week and getting to do things I don't normally do....some highlights include:
Twilight Tuesdays at the Chinese Garden: beautiful evening concert of Chinese music in this incredible garden. Didn't even know this concert series existed! Will do again and bring our own chairs and snacks/drinks. I envisioned this as a bit fancy, but it is like a concert in the park for grown-ups.
Pok Pok: highly regarded/reviewed by NYT Thai restaurant. Great and spicy food. Eager to return for their soups in the winter. Maybe the lines will be less formidable?
Pittock Mansion: beautiful historic home with amazing views of the city and Mt. Hood. Lovely grounds you can picnic and enjoy. Hiking trails connect to Zoo and Forest Park. Will be back!
NW Film Center movies: We saw a wonderful animated movie....Sita sings the blues. Gotta blog more about that. We are lucky to get films like this....
Alma Chocolates: ok, this is one of my favorite "happy" places, and regular blog readers already have heard about this. However in yesterday's heat we enjoyed some seasonal treats that I cannot rave about enough. Chocopop made with fresh berries and coconut milk for me (OMG, so good), and Cascadia Shaker (a icy chocolate milkshake with fresh berries) for girlfriend.
