Portland via bike

Today was a Portland day. We were lucky enough to borrow bikes from our hosts and hit the town. We biked over the river to the west side, hit up the very awesome Powells books, where we walked off with a half dozen that were added to R's already full pack.

Next up, we got a walking tour from a Kenyon alum, then headed back over the river to the very hip North East side for some lunch with our Kenyon host. After that it was more biking in and through all the fantastic (very Brooklyn-y) neighborhoods and then back 'home.'

Exhausted, but at least now clean, we're about to stroll back over the river - perhaps testing out the public transport - for some browsing, dinner and drinks with more Kenyon peeps, because that's how we roll.

Here's a photo of (not) R & I biking:



and here's a photo of downtown Portland, so if you put the two together, you get the general idea:
