The first stop was the Portland Farmers Market at PSU - Portland State University.
I was surprised how large is was this early in the season. Two city blocks long and one city block wide. It runs between the buildings and under the trees on the PSU campus.
I could not get any pictures that really caught the size and atmosphere of the place, but I tried.
The market was packed with all kinds of people.
We picked up a few vegetables and decided we should head here for Saturday breakfast and a little shopping. We can catch the bus from in front of our place and get dropped off at the market for $5 (for the both of us) why drive and pay to park?
There were a lot of good food vendors there. Now here is a great environmental trick. To save trees, trash, and landfill, the vendors serve on real plates. After you have enjoyed your meal, simple return your plate and they get washed for the next time.
I have never lived in a city before but am grooving on Portland for sure.
Saturday Market Old Town.
Up in Old Town on the river is the Saturday Market. This market is more food vendor and goodies to buy. Completely different flavor than the Farmers Market at PSU. Fun place to walk around, street actors, completely different people up here, etc... One end of the market in the River and the other ends at Voodoo Doughnuts. The line for a doughnut on a Saturday is blocks long, but no one seems to mind. Rose loves their famous Bacon Maple Bar doughnut.
Back to Mi Mero Mole for lunch.
OK, you get a Beer, a Shot, and a Burrito for $10. Ya, you want it!
Casual place and the food is really good. Definitely, some of the best Mexican food we have eaten in the states.
