Portland Public Transportation

So, we are in Portland for the day, which starts with A losing a lens out of her glasses. I started the previous day convincing Shopko Optical that they did not put the correct rx in my new glasses and so they will need to be redone. The result of which is I cannot see up close.

We are cat sitting in J and G's apartment with no food and no miniature screwdrivers that we can find. So, we are off to Freddies to buy a screwdriver set. No luck. On to Walgreens. In luck and on to McD's. But of course, she cannot see and I cannot see and I have no feeling to speak of in my right forefinger and thumb, so the process is going slowly.

We recruit a young couple to help. They are cheerful. But the first thing the gal does is lose the screw all together. There were extras with the screw driver we bought and the guy put it in in about five minutes flat.

So we have a lot of the day left. Our car is safely parked and we opt for public transportation.

We discover you can ride anything they have anywhere in Portland with an all day pass for $4.75. A good deal, we think and set out on the Portland Street car. Our goal is to ride the tram. More on that tomorrow.
