Urban Hiking in Downtown Portland - November 23, 2014

Portland, Oregon
 8 Miles

Wow, what a rainy day this was.  We were soaked even by the time we reached the Hawthorne Bridge.  


The bridge was going up just as we reached the east side so we waited under the cover of the freeway above us until the bridge started to lower.  

We had a wonderful break near the end with hot tea at Starbucks and relaxed for a bit before heading back out into the pouring rain to finish hiking to the car.  Even a day of hiking in the rain is wonderful though.  We managed to do a little over 8 miles.

Oregon Zoo - October 10, 20014

Today we decided to explore the zoo.  We didn't have much time and wanted to go someplace close by but interesting.  The zoo was it!

Although we didn't track any mileage on the walk, it was nice to get out and enjoy this great fall weather we have been having.
