Saturday Portland Market Under Burnside Bridge




Roger is spending a few days in Portland and tomorrow morning he'll leave for Vancouver Canada where he's spending a week with friends and family.

It is so warm and lovely we decided to take the streetcar downtown, then board the MAX to the Saturday Craft Market which runs from Spring all the way through Christmas.

Today it was ultra crowded with mostly tourists. The food vendors seem to be the busiest but the craft vendors were also making sales.

Normally the street fair wouldn't warrant being in a blog but then I recalled that last week Saturday I was enjoying a similar fair in Buenos Aires. What a different a week makes! And - - I should mention that the prices are greatly different, as well. It's much more fun buying with pesos than with a US dollar price.

I'm finally caught up with sleep and my time clock seems to be set to Portland time again so this week I'll prepare for a visit from Vicki and Steve over the July 4th Holiday. They'll leave Tuesday and Lori and Pam fly in Friday so we'll have a great time together for another five days. Pedicures and manicures are already scheduled and then we're ready for fun.
