Figured out how to take the bus downtown, and went on a free walking tour. It wasn't the best every bit out was quite good and we learned a number of things, like why Portland is also called Stumptown. The street art is great fun, too.
Lunch at a "food court"--just the whole ground floor of a building. Cold ramen (yum!) plus soft ice cream (real ice cream, no gelatins or additives).
Then went to see the little garden on the 9th floor of the federal courthouse. Yes, they let us in after making us check our Swiss army knife. Unlike airports, they gave it back. The sculptures were great (sorry--forgot to take a picture for the blog). Favorite was a cat on trial, with feather still in its mouth. The judge was an owl, attorney was a dog, etc.
Home for a nap before meeting our friends Lee and Alan for dinner. They kindly invited us over for a delicious dinner even though they had just returned from their own travels hours before!
