Alex got a rare day off from her feisty 2-1/2-year-old son yesterday when her friend's husband offered to take Truman for awhile. We stopped at the University of Portland to investigate possible accounting degree programs for Alex, ate scrumptious Reuben sandwiches at a Jewish deli, and browsed around Powell's Bookstore, one of the largest bookstores in the country. It occupies an old warehouse of an entire square block in the heart of downtown. We ended the trip with coffee and cupcakes at the bookstore coffee shop. I believe the statistics show that Portlanders read more books than anywhere else in the country. Maybe it's all that rain.
I'm able to travel downtown on the light rail, which I catch about 5 blocks from my house. It's also free, as is all public transportation within downtown.
