The Pacific Northwest will always have a special place in my heart, so it's awesome when I get to travel there for work. Portland in particular is home to some of my favorite places to eat and walk around. Most of my visits are limited to the downtown area, but this year I got to venture out and try the famous Pok Pok for some amazing Thai food. Not to say that there isn't a a plethora of places downtown to get a cultural experience. The famous Portland food trucks line up and down a couple of different parking lots, serving all kinds of food from fish n' chips to Ethiopian to Mauritian, which is a mix of French, Chinese, African, and Indian. There's just something about food that gives you a special connection to the place you're in and for the people of Portland, food is also a way to allow the place you're in to connect with you.
Stay tuned for another post from my stay in Seattle.
