Portland A City for Walking
We don’t mind the rain in Portland and like walking in it. It changes the way things look and the way people react. We have tons of great coffee houses and a good cup of coffee tastes that much better when the air is crisp and slightly damp. We understand if you should choose to use an umbrella, we won’t hold it against you. But when given the chance to walk on a sunny spring day in Portland the smells and the fresh air are intoxicating. Many unique and interesting shops are all over downtown that are so easily missed by car, and if necessary there is a light rail, buses and cable cars to help you cover a little more distance when necessary. Take a stroll along the river, there is often activity there and entertainment to take in. Summers here are mild and we often have about two minths with 0 rainfall, so forget what you have heard about it raining all the time, I think that was a campain to keep people away. Finally walking allows contact with Portlanders who are indeed an interesting lot, so take time for a stroll when visiting downtown Portland so you can go away having really experienced this fine city.
