Despite our plans to go see the Shining hotel, which turns out, is located not too far from Portland, we ended up just staying in the city today due to heavy rain and me sleeping in too late (which i call a 2-day-hangover). So we hit Portland's Old Town, which was buzzing with a market under a bridge. Again, finding too many food carts, we couldn't resist the temptation and ended up trying a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, which we hadn't had before. Tony loving both steak and cheese of course liked it, but for me it was a bit too much.

Since we got to Portland we have been meaning to go to this crazy famous donut shop called Voodoo Doughnut, which happened to be right next to the market. Anthony Bourdain, Man vs. Food and Andrew Zimmern (all greatly admired by us) have all praised this place so you can only imagine the line we found outside the shop; despite the rain it took us about 30mins before we even got in there. But it was well worth it. Not only do the donuts look absurd (penis shapes, voodoo dolls etc.) they come in about 100 different flavors, including bacon (eeeew!), Fruit Loops, Oreo, bubblegum, curry and peanut butter.

The moment we have waited for
After wanting to vomit after too many donuts we headed to a movie theater located in a super cheesy mall (with an ice rink in it) and went to see Taken 2. Conclusion; Liam Neeson the stud is seriously unbeatable. That's all.
