Start walking!
...check out the buildings, get lunch from a food truck, try on some Doc Martens, scan floors and floors of books and then buy a few, stroll the waterfront, try a restaurant, feed the ducks, people watch, there are so many ways to fill a day in Portland!

The gentleman who checked us in at the Marriott Hotel said he spent his entire first year in the city trying a new food truck every day for lunch! |

It is so easy to get lost in Powell's from the sheer size of the building and the quantity of books on display. |

Voodoo donuts, seemed that everyone in town was carrying a pink box, including fellow passengers on our flight back to San Diego. |

Don't forget to look up at all the old buildings. |
Good-bye Portland,
a city worth exploring....
