Getaway to Portland

My sister, Sue, and I decided to have a little getaway and since we hadn't taken the train in a while we chose to go to Portland, Oregon on Amtrak.  How relaxing!  We boarded the train in Fairhaven, Bellingham.

Roughly 6 hours later we disembark at Vancouver, Washington where we are picked up by our hotel shuttle and taken to Portland.  We stayed at the Best Western and it was great.

We visited the largest book store.  It's absolutely huge.  So refreshing when most books are online.  This is a very popular place.

We sampled some of the great cuisine.  First at Jake's Crawfish...

Then the Rock Bottom Grill where we sampled some of the great micro brews!

The Portland Market was happening so a little shopping was done.  Tax free!

Music....

Beautiful old buildings and a great transit system.

We'll be back.  Great time!
