We had planned to rent a car and travel to Mount Hood or perhaps Eugene, however the wild fires and then the rain, while required for the fires, not so good for viewing or driving, kept us in the city. We walked around the downtown area checking out the food trucks/carts, Voodoo Donuts (maple and bacon!!) and Powell books. Found a copy of The Book of Tiki at Powell's Books. Just asked at the counter and they replied, “Why yes we do.” Yay. We then checked out the Pearl District and the Northwest District before heading to the Hale Pele. What an amazing place. From the sunken bar to the décor, the drinks and the vibe of the place is just great. Tara was our wizard behind the bar. A lot of regulars here and if I lived near here I would probably move closer so I too could be a regular. All the regulars we met were very friendly, always eager to talk tiki, rum, cocktails or all three. They also told us how great Tiki-Con is and how we should go...
