Having taken our bikes, we spent two days exploring the
Willamette River trails and adjacent neighborhoods. Portland is a city of
bridges, and we crossed many of them, pedaling from one side of the Willamette
to the other.
We ate Peruvian
delights and tasted local brews and ciders. A tram ride offered a colorful autumn view of Portland with
Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in the distance (and a break from cycling!)
And, of course, we visited Powell’s City of Books. Such an amazing bookstore. I could take a sleeping bag and move
in. I’d sleep in a different section every night, maybe a few nights in my
favorites. What a thrill to find Running
Secrets on their shelves!
What’s your favorite autumn escape?
