Portland Waterfront

Portland Waterfront



The waterfront is one of my favorite areas in downtown Portland. It's 36.59 acres from Naito Pkwy between SW Harrison St & NW Glisan St. It's a beautiful walk, a lot of bicyclist and runners and awesome views of bridges all along the Willamette River


The Hawthorn Bridge


Voodoo Doughnut

The most popular doughnut shop in Portland! Lots of lines and lots of sugar :) 

There are a couple locations the most popular one is downtown: Voodoo Doughnut map 
 

We've been there quite a few times, we always take our visitors here and get my favorite: Maple Bacon Doughnut! It's super yummy. :)

Mario and I went downtown to go see the Portlandia Statue on 1120 SW 5th Avenue. The statue stands 34 feet, 10 inches tall!  It is the second largest copper statue in the US after the Statue of Liberty herself . Portlandia is based on a figure in Portland's city seal of a woman, dressed in classical clothes, who welcomes traders into the port of the city.
