Warm weather is here, spring is in the air and we have a lot to see and do. Buckle up!!!
We jumped on the train and traveled downtown and walked a block over to the Willamette River that runs through Portland. Today we walked south and explored the river front and its many shops, restaurants, inns and bridges (so many bridges) and parks. It was the perfect day for a long walk - 70 degrees and sunny - quite nice from the winter weather that keep up inside for the last couple of months.
We watched dragon boat races, saw a Rose Committee ceremony of some sort, and vendors making ribbon roses and drawings of the area to tempt the tourists. We sat for hot drinks and cookies (of course) and people watched bikers and runners, old folks and lots of kids and just soaked up the sun.
Finally, we retraced our route back to Beaverton and had lunch at the Food Cartel food trucks next door to our 24 hour Gym. Pam chose the best thing - a shredded bar-b-q pork bowl - to die for!!!
Great day - we spent $2.50 each for the train plus coffee and lunch so it was also very economical!
