Last Day in Portland

Morning coffee at Grand Central Bakery (http://www.grandcentralbakery.com/index.html). We've driven past them a dozen times, but never stopped in. Mostly that was due to the fact that our house had a coffee maker and we'd been buying Stumptown Coffee and drinking it at home. But, we're running short of ground coffee, so we went out. Ironically, while Grand Central bakes their own products (the chocolate croissante was very good), they serve Stumptown Coffee.

I tried to pick up a T-shirt today from a one person brewery called "Hair of the Dog", but no one was home. Apparently the guy who runs/owns/is Hair of the Dog is very quirky and only works when he wants. I don't know if that's the case, but I know he wasn't there when he told me to come by.

Dinner was a repeat at 10-01. Maxine'd been intrigued about their burgers since I'd said that they were the best I'd ever tasted. So, we had to go back so she could have one. They are very good, and ironically, they use the same beef provider as Roots, which we went to on our first night in Portland, Strawberry Farm (http://strawberrymountainnaturalbeef.com/). So, completing the circle we had burgers the first and last night.

Tomorrow morning -- load the car and drive to Ashland.
