another friend in portland

my sister's college roommate jane now lives in portland.  it had been a super long time since we'd met last.   i found her at her counseling job in downtown portland.

she took me to a really cool restaurant called jakes.

then we walked to the powell's bookstore which was huge huge huge.

while we were drinking coffee in the cafe area i remembered that my parking time was overdue!  uh oh.  it had been 25 minutes, and a finding a ticket was certain.  but when we got back to my van there was no ticket!  wow, we were so not in philadelphia.  since i had to move the van anyway, jane got in the passenger seat and continued the personalized city tour for another 20 minutes as we drove around.   i was really glad it worked out for us to meet up on her extended lunch break.  we got to share life. : )

leaving portland i headed for a burgerville which jane had mentioned about.  

i got their tillamook cheeseburger because i figured that would be as local as it gets.  i loved how they broke down the info on the receipt!!
