Today was a beautiful day, at least +20 C, bright and sunny. A perfect day for a walk downtown. We started out in the Pearl District and walked our way down through Chinatown to the Old Town and then back home through the Downtown. Of course Emmy was with us all afternoon.

| Looks like a fun spot. |

| Emmy wishing that John's Cafe was open so she could get the steak breakfast (only $4.95!). |
 |
| Not really sure what "The House of Louie" is, but Louis has a Mercedes... |
 |
| Old Town Pizza, in a building that used to be a hotel, and is supposed to be haunted! |
 |
| We finally made it to HooDoo Antiques! I went in and asked the guy who was working there if he was the owner, and he said he was, so I told him who I was...he thought that was pretty funny. It's a great shop, lots of interesting goodies. |

 |
| Great old theatre, sadly no longer in use. |
 |
| A very cute Cake Shop in a small stand-alone building, with sweet white cotton eyelet curtains and vintage decor. It's not far from our apartment, but today was the first time I've seen it. Unfortunately, they were closed. Maybe we can come back when you visit, Carolyn? :o) |
And here are some more photos, these ones taken by Shane...
