To celebrate Heather’s recent birthday, on Friday afternoon Heather and I went downtown Portland and walked around. We visited the cutest puppies¹Little buddy! at Pioneer Courthouse and walked around The Bite of Oregon to get to the waterfront.²We also walked by some young gentlemen standing in a doorway, one of whom remarked, “Rockin’ sunglasses!” I took it as a compliment. ;-) We walked by city hall, the parks, and into the Pearl. We found REI and window-shopped their bikes, kayaks, and SUP’s. We walked through Jamison Square, by the post office, Portland Union Station, and back to the waterfront.

We were getting hungry, so we found a food cart and ate a couple of humongous burritos. Oh, my!

Not ready to leave yet, we walked by Pioneer Courthouse square where Flicks on the Bricks was setting up. A little farther west in Director Park, we rested our feet in a cool pool while watching acrobats and dancers.

We walked through Finnigan’s and then, finally, found our car.

What an awesome walk!³Google maps says we walked eight miles. Yeah, I feel it…
