Walking Around Nob Hill in Northwest Portland, Oregon




Eric & I have watched the
 construction of this bridge
 on our drives into & out







A railing hangs suspended
next to the highway.








Eric parks on a shady

These colorful stairs express
support for LGBTQ individuals.

Bing Mi meal.







Stuffed Chinese Crepes are our new on-the-go meal.

 through Nob Hill.

























The Parachute Building has

Our time in Portland has come to an end.  This hospitable city is walkable and safely bikeable.  There are lots to see and do - Many Food and Coffee Choices; Historic Buildings, Museums, Breweries, Distilleries, Parks, Themed Gardens, Small Shops to explore...  Eric and I have to return for more Portland Weird.
