Just got back. Great visit & even better weather. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a myth that it rains in Portland. I have yet to see one drop of rain ( and i visited last in late December for almost a week!) Deschutes brewery has some amazing pizza...best tomato sauce i've ever had. Pizza schmizza was great and crispy one occassion, then soggy on the next. nw 23rd was a quaint street... not nearly as yuppy or glam as I was suspecting. Ace hotel was very hip...too hip for my own personal taste. (everyone seemed to be screaming for attention) Really surprised by the lack of foot traffic after 9:00 pm, however, the restaurants were packed solid until very late in the night. Traffic on the roads ( I-5, I-84, hw 26) seemed to flow much better than expected. The drive to Eugene was beautiful and the town itself. The coast from Florence to Tillamook was outstanding. Hands down better than any coastal drive i've ever had. Mo's clam chowder was pretty good also.
