So last week, I was at another Department of Labor conference, this time, in Portland, Oregon. This was my first trip to Portland – a rainy ‘Austin of the Northwest.’ However, it was only rainy on the first day; the remaining two were what you might call ‘Chamber of Commerce Weather.’
On my free afternoon, I walked though Washington Park. I say ‘walked.’ I’d originally planned to stroll around, but it ended up being about 8 miles through the park and NW Portland neighborhoods.
