Apartments, Leif Erickson and McMenamins

This morning I was still pretty full from dinner but we needed to pick Jess up while she had her tyres replaced so we went in hunt of pancakes and we were successful and I was forced to be even more full.

Most of the rest of the day was taken up by organising apartments to go look at and then actually going to look at them. We looked at a couple of places, one downtown and one out in the burbs a bit. I am not really looking forward to that project but should be more fun than looking for a job. It was pretty funny as I think the people showing us around thought we were a gay couple.

In the evening we went for a run up the Leif Erickson trail. I discovered that my calves were pretty damn grumpy with my previous up hill running so we went out at a fairly slow pace. On the way back I discovered that I still had most of my fitness and blitzed it down the hill and pulled out mostly 4 min ks in the back 8km. Any slight rise in the hill kinda made my calves seize up though so it was a bit of a crazy yo-yo speed. All up about 16km.

For dinner we went to McMenamins Kennedy School which is an awesome place. It is an old school that has been converted to a complex of bars, restaurants, hotel rooms, a venue and a theatre. You can drink in the boiler room and have functions in the Gym. There is also a Cigar room in the old detention office and the school hall shows movies with sweet old couches you can sit in while you drink and eat during the movie. Its pretty cool just to wander about an old school at night let alone have a few drinks there.

We vaguely made some plans for Thursday to check out Mt Hood but it was pretty late so we mostly just went to bed.
