Day 8 was designed as a rest day, and I really needed it. I slept late, filled up on the hotel breakfast, and set out on a couple of errands. The first stop was John’s Market, an extensive beer and wine shop. It’s mostly beer, though. if you are ever in the Portland area, I highly recommend a stop there. I was able to grab some more bottles from breweries that I skipped. I was bummed they had a Creature Comforts section, but it was all sold out. The person helping me said the other stores have even bigger selections. From there, I visited the small Lan Su Chinese garden for my moment of zen before checking out Upright Brewing. Upright didn’t have much of what I was looking for, but I did grab a small bottle of each of their two sours. I passed a small Thai food place on the way back for a great Pad Thai, and that was my day.
