Sunday Randomness #160: Seven Virtues and Portland Central Library

We visited the Portland Central Library this last summer and I took a few pictures.

One of the many pieces of art around the library.

A row of music folios.

More and more rows of music folios with sheet music for practically any instrument in a traditional orchestra (including voice) and some non-traditional instruments.

The library has three floors.

The pillars are painted wood, not real stone.

Iron gates and wood doors at the front entrance.

The stairs had etched designs including a treble clef sign.

And a rolling pin!

Mica and Daisy by the tree sculpture in the children's area.

Seven Virtues is a coffee shop near one of our stops.

We got hot chocolate (with the cream heart design), whipped milk infused with lavender, and a berry crumble that was both gluten-free and vegan. It was the best berry crumble I've ever tried. We bought some extra to take with us.

Sunday Randomness #78: Pictures from Portland from fall 2016

Mama Leo's Caribbean. Absolutely fantastic! http://www.mamaleosrestaurant.com/

Don't remember all of this other than it was an appetizer sampler with things like fried yucca and arrepitas (sp?) and the bollos pelones (corn meal balls).
