Thank God for a good day (s) in Portland, Oregon November 29-30th, 2018 Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trailblazers

Hola peeps! I decided to get free from work and take a quick trip to Trailblazer nation- Portland, Oregon! Let's get started!

November 29th, 2018

I arrived here in Portland during the late evening. I did a 3 day night shift and as you guess, I was super tired by the time I got to my hotel which was in Hayden Island. Holiday Inn Express and suites was my hotel. It has a nice location and it's a good hotel with friendly staff.

Free breakfast all you can eat in the hotel!

I traveled to Southeast Portland side to buy gifts for my nephew and eat! Large Asian population in the southeast side. I had a craving for dim sum anyway. Pretty good dim sum.

It was early afternoon so I decided to go back into town and hike (was also a rainy day for the most part):

Lower Macleay trail/Wildwood trail

 

 

 

 

Witch's Castle

 

 This was an attempted hike to the Pittock mansion. I was unable to finish the hike. Roughly about close to 3 hrs I still did not finish and I had to head back into town so I could pick my friend Gary up and watch the Trailblazers game; Portland traffic is horrendous during late afternoon. Nice hike still though I felt awkward in how the trail progresses. Sometimes you go left, then right, then down, and up. I can't really explain it but it did feel uneven at times.


*Update: 2/17/20 Just found out the remains of that house is none other than Witch's castle. *


Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trailblazers

 

 

 

 

We were late as the first quarter was nearly ending. Portland had to rally towards the end only to lose by one point. This was a nice experience but this is the 2nd time I've seen a Trailblazers game only to see them lose (again). I can't wait to see a game where they win. Next time I guess. Anyhow, that ended my adventure for the day. See you next time and Jesus loves you.
