Portland at its best

My wife is an enthusiastic Portland booster. My own relationship with the city is more complicated and less enthusiastic, but one thing I do appreciate is the city's fine public transportation system. We took advantage of it today for a fun excursion to lunch.

First, we parked at the hospital on the hill. We took the tram down to the south waterfront, then hoped the streetcar to the main waterfront. We had lunch outside on the river. Then we reversed the journey.

This is Portland at its best.

Tonight and Sunday I'll do my recall duty.
