The Portland Saturday Market

The Portland Saturday Market

While the guys went salmon fishing, the three generations of women (my sister, niece, her young daughter, and I) played tourist in Portland.  We parked at the Lloyd Center garage and then hopped on the free Max light-rail to the Portland Saturday Market.  We spent the day at the Market, a vibrant, crowded, colorful place with hundreds of craft and food vendors. It’s right along the waterfront in downtown Portland.  The people-watching was all the free entertainment we needed.  We had a great “Girls Day Out.”

What little girl wouldn't love these colorful tutus?
