PDXit

It's around 4:30 a.m. and we are at our gate at the Portland Airport (PDX) preparing to fly out to Salt Lake City (SLC) and then race to some other gate - as yet unassigned - for our final leg of the odyssey - the flight to Kansas City (MCI).

We had a unique experience yesterday riding a bus and then a tram across most of Portland in order to get downtown where we visited Powell's Books, one of Portland's many "must experience" sites.  Powell's covers an entire city block and is multi-stories high. It advertises itself as being "a city of books," and also as "the world's largest bookstore. " The store also sells book-related apparel, games, and all manner of interesting things.

We did walk by a couple of guys smoking pot on the city sidewalks - which indicated that we weren't in Kansas any more!

And today we will be running between gates at airports with all of the other jackasses.

So it's off to the races!
