If you read the first post on Portland Tours (Epicurean Excursion part of Portland Walking Tours) you would know that we had chocolate at Cacoa - Portland, Orange Tomato Soup at Flying Elephant Delicatessen and a dessert waffle at one of the food carts. You did read the first post, right? Well, here's the link to the first post if you didn't:
Portland Tours | Cool Walking Tours !
As we are walking down the street, there are cool places to take note of, namely the "Living Room Theater" and Powell's Book Store (the largest in the USA and second largest in the world). In between was a stop for gourmet coffee at the Courier Coffee Shop.
After the Courier stop we went to the Pearl Bakery in Portland's upscale Pearl District where Gus Van Sant and k.d. Lang have lofts. With the bakery being a pleasant and surprising stop on the tour. We donned hairnets and toured the back room of this huge bakery. They offered a variety of gourmet breads and special EVOO to dip them in.
We passed more landmarks on our way to The Tea Zone and Camellia Lounge. Namely, the Portland Armory and Vera Katz Park...a small park named aptly after one of Portland's cool Mayors.

It's another "time out" for Portland Tours...the "Epicurean Excursion", which is part of "Portland Walking Tours". I'll wrap it up in the next couple of days.
Our exalted, beloved and competent tour guide was Adam Sawyer and he has a website at:

This looks like a fun walk. Will you be doing Scott Kelby's Worldwide Walk in October?

I'm looking into Kelby's Walk. Nothing in Oregon City..so far. I would love to do one in Oregon City. If you don't want to be the leader I'll volunteer.
DeleteMy blog is not the most private in the world..so, we could correspond through Facebook. Let me know.
I sent you a message on Facebook and a friend request. I thought that might make it easier.
