Time to head to Portland! I’ll be spending the weekend in this beautiful city with my sister and apparently everyone who is coming for the Portland marathon – it should be busy. I look forward to time hanging with my sis and, of course, visiting Powell’s books. Best bookstore in the world! (And yes, I expect the invariable comparison to the Tattered Cover from the Colorado contingent of blog readers…)
I’m also looking forward to the Photowalk on Sunday! Yes, this Sunday, October 10th. Everyone is welcome, bring your cameras – any kind – and meet up with some other photographers to explore part of the city. We’ll be meeting at 10am, at the Starbucks at NW 23rd and NW Overton in the Northwest District of Portland, two blocks from the 23rd and Marshall streetcar stop. Look for a bunch of people with cameras! (Plan your travel route such that you avoid the Portland Marathon route.)
The page opened and I actually said… "ooooooooh, Powell's." You are sooo lucky. Have a great time and touch a few antique books just for me. Still searching for Kaziah Dane by Sue Grafton… if you stumble upon it. xo t
Had to add a 2nd comment… Heidi Durrow ROCKS. I love love love her book…. The Girl That Fell From The Sky. The audiobook is pitch perfect, too. Just sayin'
I'm crushed that I can't make the photowalk, but can't wait to see your pictures. Next year! (and please report on how good Powell's smells – I love that bookstore ambiance…)
Enjoy your trip! Portland is one of my favorite cities.
Sounds heavenly, wish I was there! Have a wonderful time – hope you find lots that make your heart go pitter patter!
Maybe our photowalk should have just been in Powell's! Next time…
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
Have a great time.
Yay! Powell's with my sister! Doesn't get much better than that!
Oh congratulations! Have fun in the marathon! You'll only be a few hours from here' love the Pacific Northwest. You're coming all the way from Italy? Powell's is fun and Portland is such a great town!
A near miss! I wish I could go with, Katrina – that has the makings of a blast!! Enjoy.
Wish I could do the photowalk with you. Can't wait to see the images you get!
Looks like a bookstore I could snoop in all day! Have a great time!! 🙂
We will be moving the end of this month and then we will be checking out neighboring cities and towns for good bookstores.
Sorry to have missed the photowalk! Next time!
Enjoy Powell's…I can get lost in there for days! 🙂
