It feels so good to be home and enjoy the fall weather. But naturally, I am looking forward to and planning my next trip to ELSEWHERE!
This afternoon I walked up to Willamette Heights Park and did some Plein Art. My house is tucked amongst the trees along the Willamette River, not far from the bike path through Dorris Ranch.
Here is a unique experience of Portland, Oregon on foot, and a good excuse to exercise. Walk from the Amtrak station, along the Willamette River, past the Mounted Police arena, through the Pearl District to the Pigs on 23rd, and into beautiful neighborhoods.
Walking route from guidebook, “Oregon Townscape Walks” with 22 Oregon towns, 7 Amtrak whistle stop walks, 13 bicycle paths and 14 restored train depots. This artistic book does more than grace your coffee table, it takes you fascinating places for a unique experience.
While I have walked across England three separate times (484 miles total), across Spain (550 miles at one blow) and led walking tours in Ireland, France, Italy and Morocco, I love walking in Oregon. In the USA I have given walking tours in New York City, Washington DC and Boston, but I really love walking Oregon towns.
This new and unique guidebook explores 22 towns in Oregon. From the big city of Portland, down I-5 to the small town of Ashland, people can drive or take the Amtrak train and discover charm, history and the personality of Oregon on foot.
