Oregon Convention Center

Oregon Convention Center 

It’s a beautiful morning in Portland, and after a brisk 10-minute walk from the hotel to the Oregon Convention Center I was greeted by this statue of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Trimet Light Rail

Light Rail

Found the light rail terminal and took it all the way to my hotel. Pretty impressive (and inexpensive) way to travel. A smooth 25-minute ride, and only $2.50.

On Board

Empty Seats

Sitting on the plane, a Bombardier Q400. Small, but lots of empty seats, so I ended up getting two seats to myself.

Spider sculpture

What would Peter Jackson think?

This bizarre statue was in a park across the street from where my son’s pickup was disabled. I wonder if Peter Jackson could use it as inspiration for the monster spiders in The Hobbit.
