Dinner:
Ah, how delightfully scrumptious. We are discovering such glorious unknown places ... at least unknown in any of the papers we have read.
Take for instance dinner at the Wet Dog Cafe (named after the original owner's dog which was always wet). This place really is very special. Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, just great service that is not overdone (thanks Jessica); I think there is even a stage for performances on Friday and Saturday nights and if you like beer, well this place has its own special brew (like a lot of Oregon ... I am told)
We are feasting on foods that we don't commonly dine on at home so as soon as I saw Alaskan Halibut Fish-N-Chips (wild) with Baby Red potatoes, and the clam chowder, it was instantly snapped up, along with the Oregon Hazelnut salad (served with a raspberry vinaigrette) and finished off with Marionberry Cobbler. Thank goodness the stomach is learning to cope!

Day two began waking in Hotel Elliot.
This is a lovely old fashioned (historically listed) hotel and after we returned from our delectable dining and riverfront walking (it is still light at 9pm here - so perfect for an evening stroll), I had planned to add a few more notes. Alas, the lights in the room were so dim it was impossible to see, even to read, and the shower had so much pressure that it was hurting! Pity, because the beds were quite lovely ... as the sign says "wonderful beds" - well maybe wonderful is a little too descriptive, but they were definitely comfortable!
