Returning to the gate due to severe weather in Washington. We finally departed Portland 2 hours late.
During the 1850s, the Old Town area began to be settled by Chinese, eventually leading to the Northern 2/3 of the area becoming known as Portland's Chinatown. Chinatown today is a tiny shadow of itself, with some two dozen Cantonese businesses (some restaurants date to the 1920s), as well as a Chinatown Gate and a new garden, the Suzhou Lan Su Chinese Garden.
The Portland Chinatown Gate was built in 1986 by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. The Chinese characters posted on the gate read "Portland Chinatown" in the front, and "Four Seas, One Family", in the back.

After dinner, we headed up to Portland and went to the Pittock Mansion viewpoint. It was very windy and amazingly cold, but the views were spectacular!!

Whale watch. Unfortunately, the whales must have had a previous engagement as there were none to be seen that day.
Underneath the Burnside Bridge near downtown Portland, a bunch of local skaters built their own skatepark.
No permission. No permits. They just did it.
But it turned out to be amazing. So amazing, in fact, that they got the city to approve it.
Yes, Portland is the greatest city in the United States.
Oh, if any skaters want to shoot photos or videos, feel free to hit me up. I'll do it free.

The Dandy Warhols, a Portland band, put on an impromptu two day moving show playing a 13 songs in front of or in 13 old school Portland locations. I joined in on the first day and it was my first time seeing the Dandy Warhols and I had a blast! The first location was outside of the former Xray Cafe at 2nd and burnside, then we moved around the corner to Voodoo Doughnuts and then into Dantes (Sally and I had a quick drink) and then Magic Gardens. I had to leave at this point but was all giddy and happy. One of the best days!
