48 Hours in Portland

[nggallery id=”44367″ template=galleryview]

Last weekend, we jetted off to Portland, Oregon for the weekend with Mrs. B to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Actually, don’t tell her this, but the impetus for the trip was an offer to review the hipster-friendly Ace Hotel in downtown PDX for the equally chic British travel site Mr and Mrs Smith. You’ll have to wait to read our review of the hotel, but in the meantime we thought we’d share some photos of just a few of the Portland buildings that caught our eye. After the insanely good food and drink (we managed to hit Doug Fir, Le Pigeon, Byways Cafe, Pok Pok, Clyde Common, Langano Lounge, Cafe Broder and Foster Burger, in that order, in the course of 48 hours), the architecture really stood out. Of course, so did the epic level of homelessness. Can’t have everything.
