On my last day in the Rose City, I was able to snap a few pictures of random watches -
This was on the wrist of one of Wendy's colleagues. A whole lot of fun on the wrist.

This Fendi was on the wrist of a Japanese photographer who was visiting in Portland - Wendy and I ran into her and her friend at the ACE Hotel -
You have GOT to check this place out!
This SWATCH was on the wrist of her traveling companion... proof positive that a cool watch does not have to cost a cool grand!
After a singularly great meal at the Brasserie Montmartre -
We dropped in at Public Domain where I had, without any doubt in my mind, the BEST espresso I have EVER had!
They prepare the espresso one at a time, and they serve it with a sparkling mineral water as a palate cleanser. The espresso itself is almost citrus like, with hints of chocolate - I say without fear of contradiction - it ROCKED my world!
I BEG YOU - if you are ever in Portland, check these places out!
Beg? Nay, sir, URGE, COMMAND, DICTATE... call it what you will, these places and plenty of others (the fantastic food carts, Dragonfish, Clyde Common, McMennamins, etc) will make the trip totally worth it! And yes, plenty of "wrist bling" to keep a watch-blogger in time-keeping heaven!
