2016.7.9. Portland day tour

7/9 Saturday. Overcast. Walked around Portland with one of my college roommates and her parents.

First stop: Reed College. Nice big lawn and good looking buildings.

Second stop: International Rose Test Garden. Lots of people.

Late lunch at Rogue Distillery and Public House, the 3rd brewpub we tried (the previous two each required 45 minute wait). Great service. We tried Chocolate Stout, Good Chit Pilsner, Hazelnut Brown Nectar, Pendleton Pale Ale. We didn't like Chocolate Stout. Afterwards, walked along waterfront, Pioneer Courthouse Square, Director's Square, and South Park, where a Bastille Day celebration was going on.

Last, Nike campus. There was a high school elite football competition going on: The Opening, which was to finish this weekend.
