More photos, more Portland!
This is a shot I took into the room next door while housekeeping was in there. I couldn’t resist the perfectly framed “Welcome!” chalkboard message.
This and a series of others are taken at The Kennedy School, a converted schoolhouse that is now a hotel containing a movie theatre, restaurant and a handful of bars. Each guest room is a converted classroom – we are staying in ‘Mrs. Francis Room’, which is one half of the classroom. The other half is that neighbor’s room, the ‘Cherry Tree Room,’ named for the art inside (not pictured.)
Other pictures include light fixtures, a phone, water fountain, and art from all around. I’ll try to take a picture of the front of the building before we check out tomorrow.
In other news, this morning we had waffles at the Waffle Window, the much-acclaimed tiny waffle vendor we found on Yelp. We were not disappointed by my Farm Fusion waffle – sauteed mushrooms, spinach and a lemon-thyme marinated chevre cheese over a sweet belgian waffle – nor by Sami’s pumpkin pie waffle (imagine a slice of pie on top of a waffle and you begin to get the drift. Yum), nor Ben’s bacon, brie and basil waffle, which looked great but I did not try.
Here’s a picture!
Yelp has been a phenomenal tour guide so far on this trip, thanks in no small part to my iPhone app. We highly recommend walking on the wild side and using the “nearby” function to scope out what’s good wherever you are.
Cheers!
