Over a recent long holiday weekend, I visited Portland, Oregon for my first time. The weather was warm, with blue skies and no rain in sight.
Book lovers rejoice! It’s home to Powell’s Books, where book goodness spreads over four generous floors!
Mouthwatering food abounds! Cafes, bakeries, restaurants, chocolatiers, and even their many food trucks (aka food carts) here are delicious and gourmet.
Where else could one see a lamb hiking with its people and dogs to a waterfall?
Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden features authentic architecture, landscaping, 
koi, and a fine tea house …
Jetboat excursions begin at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, speed under Willamette River’s many bridges,
and turn around at —- waterfalls (who knew?)
Their International Rose Test Garden goes on and on with sweet smelling colorful flowers …
Please tell us — do your sheep enjoy hiking?

I never thought of sheep but it sounds quite lovely after all people often speak of ‘following like sheep’

HI, I feel I should encourage you to visit both! I am a native of Washington and have spent most of my life in Redmond WA with many visits to Oregon, particularly Portland. My husband and I love both, but mostly from June to October, the rest of the year…..well, if you like overcast, cold and rain then go for it! But nothing beats Seattle in the summer! Hope you make it to both soon!
