Portland Day 3: Back to the Falls

It all started out with a delicious relaxing lunch at Oregon Culinary Institute, my future prospective school. They offer a three course lunch (starter, entree, dessert), for a whopping $9. Me and Zach both chose the BLT Salad w/ Tarragon Ranch for starter. SO FRESH. For the entree I broke my promise of no pizza the whole trip. The pizza of the day was made with goat cheese, chorizo, red bell pepper, and black beans. It was made beautifully, and the goat cheese and chorizo was awesome. I could have done without the beans-it just ended up being too much to eat. For dessert I had a peach and berry strudel, also delicious and I was relieved they did not serve me a ginormous portion. They also offered Ziggy an astonishing fruit plate for his lunch. One of the instructors also brought him crayons and asked him to color a picture for him, which Ziggy was more then excited to do.

Then we headed off to Multnomah Falls for the second time. Unlike last time, we did not go on the weekend and there was no wedding going on. We tried hiking to the top of falls on our previous visit and do to a certain little man we only made it 1/4 of the way. This time we are proud to say we made it to the top! The hike was a little over a mile to the top at a steep incline. At the top a creek ran along the trail before the falls, and many children were playing in the shallow water having a blast. I am so proud of Ziggy for making it with out being carried the entire time.

We completed the day with a trip to Cartlandia: a Food cart pod located a little bit away from downtown. Honestly, it was a dead scene. The Carts aren't prepared to handle the head (god forbid it be high 80's), and most are shutting down. We still found some awesome Thai Food: our favorite drunken noodles for only 6 dollars a plate. This is why I want to live here!
