Bicycles Built for Foo

Foo learned that Portland was a huge biking city, but he thinks they kind of missed the point here. Although a cool art piece, Foo was pretty sure this was not the best way to use bikes for physical fitness.

Local Flavor

Foo wanted to take in a bit of local flavor so he stopped for lunch in this cool restaurant called Henry's Tavern. Although it was dark inside, the food was excellent and the company was grand.

Mwahahahahaha

Foo began to channel Dastardly Dan and needed a black mustache to stay in character. He realized that it wasn't that good of a disguise though, so he gave up his plans to tie Miss Daisy to the railroad tracks.

Miles and Miles of Books

Foo totally got his read on in the famous Powell's bookstore in Portland, Oregon, sporting room upon room upon room of books of all kinds in all genres.

This bookstore was also where Foo met up with his old friend Paula, who graciously showed him a little bit of Portland's secret fun.

Giant Blender Art?

Foo wasn't entirely sure what to make of this public art piece in Portland, Oregon. He did, however, get a mad craving for smoothies.

Future Serial Killer?

It's frightening that this passes for a positive billboard in Portland, Oregon. That child is scarrrrryyyy....

Hippo Hardware

Foo loved these columns at a hardware store in Portland, Oregon. These hippos are a famous feature of this ferrateria that has been around for decades and is a hallmark of the Pacific Northwest.

A Wonder of Bread

Foo really had a hankering for some delicious white bread after he visited the sight of the Franz bakery, which sports a giant rotating loaf of bread atop its factory in Portland, Oregon.

Joan of Arc-egon

Foo was going round and round about Portland, Oregon, and low and behold found this golden Joan of Arc statue in one such roundabout. Heading onward for glory, Foo continued on his journey super inspired to get to the martial arts camp.

Hiking on Mount Foo

Well rather Mount Tabor, a mountain inside the city limits of Portland, Oregon. From on high, he got a great view of downtown Portland


He rested at an old fort, halfway up the mountain. 


Also, while on his hike he saw just how green Oregon is and learned that the red arrows point right to Foo!!
