Had a late start this morning! Took our time getting up and drinking our coffee! We had a bite to eat and we were off!

Head to the Oregon Zoo! Both of us were excited to hear you get 1.50 off with our MAX ticket! Wooo :)
We loved seeing all the animals, but were disappointed in the exhibits...
We passed through several without seeing anything :( We felt that it did not live up to its potential.

After the Zoo we went into Portland's city center and ate at "Taste of Paris".
We timed it just perfectly because we got there during happy hour! It was happy hour for food and beverage! Bec got a fancy french burger and Kayleigh ordered mussels cooked in chorizo...with french fries! We got cutsie drinks as well :)
Afterwards we made our way to Powell's Bookstore. Biggest bookstore ever! You could spend a day and a half there.
Then we made our way to a MAX to go back to our humble abode  and rest when we passed a placed that served gelatao :) And, well, it was delicious.
Theeen we took the MAX back to our place. We stopped by Fred Myers for a few necessities and took a timeout.
We rested for about an hour and decided that we wanted to go to Festa Italiana. We got dressed and poured us some wine to drink on the patio before we headed out. Well, our host came out, we chitchatted and before we knew it, she was along for the festivities as well :) We were anxious, and excited and nervous about her joining us. But she is a very sweet, laid back, and motherly type. We were more concerned about being on our best behavior.
     We got to the festival, bought some wine and pasta and enjoyed the music! The festival was held in Pioneer Square so there was a lot to see! It was a blast. We saw the cutest Italian couples (prob hitting the 100s :) dancing their life away! It was a perfect ending to a fantastic day! Of course what is next?! We hopped on the MAX and headed home. Only this time our host drove to the stop so no walking and walking for us tonight!
