We did a day trip in to Portland, Oregon yesterday. Carol's cousin, Dena, and her husband Bill met us and we toured the city. Powell's Book Store is the largest independent book store in the country and we picked up a couple of used books there.
The draw bridge is interesting...the Willamette River runs next to downtown and divides the city
2035 miles to Quadalajara, Mexico near where my brother & sister-in-law live
kids have fun going thru this water..in the waterfront park
There's a line of parks thru downtown and lots of statues. They have a light rail that runs thru downtown on the same street as the visitor center...we got pulled by a policeman for driving in the train lane...we saw the bus only lane, but didn't realize the train tracks were a no no! He was nice about it, and we were glad to see him as it was confusing.
If you look closely, you can see Mt. Hood in the background
The city of Roses, and what a beautiful Rose Garden that blooms May to October!
Carol and cousin Dena
Many ceremonies held here including weddings
We ended the day at a local Brewery for dinner and drinks. Dena & Bill with Steve and I. Bill works for a printing company that prints magazines for the Oregon coast, so we were able to get great information about the next leg of exploring the USA...the 300 miles of the Oregon coast
