Our Day in Portland

We've had a nice, relaxing day exploring Portland! One of the biggest perks of our hotel is that we are able to leave Wallace in our room while we are away, as long as he is crated and not barking. Wallace is really good when we leave him at home, and we can tell from the Wallace-cam that he usually stays in his crate and rests while we're away. Anyhow, it's nice to be able to leave him for an hour or two while we head out to eat or explore on our own a bit.

Dick and I had a nice breakfast at a local shop this morning, then headed over to Powell's Books. It's HUGE!! I read that it may be the World's largest independent book store. It's a full city block, with multiple stories. Really amazing!

A very cute book they were featuring about a dog named Larry who gets lost in Portland. He explores all the highlights in Portland before he is reunited with his person. :)

We came back to our hotel and took Wallace out on a long walk. We walked to and along the waterfront park. We probably walked about 3 miles or so, which was a great way to see other parts of Portland and letting Wallace explore a bit.
