portland 2

Okay, the worst is over!

At least we made it to Portland

without crashing or whatever!

And we did get into our hotel!

So things are looking up from here!

The first day we explored the entire

city. Did a walking tour and

found that Portland has

many statues and art works!

Like I said, the city is very
"green" so to speak.

Lots of parks and green

space. This Elk is right in the

middle of the road.

With driving lanes

around both sides.

And this fountain has a

momma bear fishing

for her young!

They also have these

"drinking" fountains.

They bubble water continuously.

We saw them thru out the city.

Don't know why they

needed 4 all together.

And the water runs all the time!

Well, they are next to the second largest river in the states! The Columbia river!
