Good morning!
It’s our last day in Portland and I’m really sad but we had a great time.
I wish we could stay longer.
We saw some friends last night at the Sapphire Hotel, which was really nice.
Had some cocktails there and then came back.
And today we’re going to go get some brunch at Pine State Biscuits,
which is supposed to have absolutely incredible biscuits of every kind.
So we’re going to check out now ‘cuz we’re staying in a different hotel tonight.
We’ve been at the Kennedy School in northeast Portland and we’re going closer to downtown
to stay at the Ace Hotel tonight, which will be really fun then we can kind of explore
that area a little bit more.
So we’re going to hit the road and get some biscuits!
I did it!
I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it.
Now let’s go have a nap!
We just came from Pine State Biscuits where we had breakfast.
And I think the last thing I said was I need a nap but instead of a nap,
we’re going to eat donuts ‘cuz that’s almost the same thing.
So we’re going to Pip’s ‘Original’ Doughnuts.
I think their specialty is like mini donuts.
Obviously you have to have donuts after you eat biscuits to have a balanced diet
so that’s what we’re going to do.
So now we’ve been to Voodoo, Blue Star and Pip’s.
Those are the three main ones that you hear about so we’ve been to all three
and they’re all so good in different ways like, we were just talking about what the differences are.
Personally, Pip’s is my favourite.
I like the whole experience.
The donuts were delicious.
I like that they’re mini so you can try a bunch of different flavours
whereas with the other ones you have to kind of commit to a huge donut,
and if it doesn’t agree with you, which is unlikely given how good they are but you know,
it’s nice to be able to try a whole bunch at one time.
But yeah so now we’re off to a feminist bookstore called In Other Words,
which if you’ve seen Portlandia is used at least for the exterior shots.
Maybe the interior too, we’ll find out.
The exterior shots slash inspiration for the feminist bookstore sketches in Portlandia,
which I absolutely love.
So we’re going to go check that out.
K so we just went to the In Other Words feminist bookstore so I just thought
I’d show you what we got.
The ladies in there were so nice and helpful.
I think I already own this but it was a dollar and I can’t remember if I do so.
And then this Conversations with Simone de Beauvoir.
And Marc got this Slingshot day planner that’s got stuff to learn everyday.
Awesome!
Okay so we just checked into our hotel for the last night.
It’s the Ace Hotel, it’s right downtown and it’s awesome!
I love it!
We’ve got these robes and with a minibar situation with Mexican Coke, so good.
Really like this blanket, it’s pretty.
The bathroom.
Whoa, it’s a huge bathroom!
Oh I love these products!
Eucalyptus and mint. Awesome.
So we’re inside the Bagdad and it’s really cool inside.
It’s very ornate and there’s nobody here!
Marc, do you think we can squeeze in?
Uh, I don’t know if we can fit!
It looks pretty busy!
This is crazy!
We’re going to have the whole theatre to ourselves!
We’re at the bar called Back Stage bar behind the movie theatre.
It’s enormously tall! Look at this.
Here’s up top at the bar, this is as high as you can go.
It goes so much taller.
Where they used to keep like the sets and the lights and stuff.
It’s hard to capture this space but it’s so awesome!
