Of Portland, Carnivals and Trains

Last week we went to Portland and I ended up staying for the weekend with a friend and taking the train home. Here's what we saw.

It was Cinco De Mayo and this pinata paid the ultimate price.

Portland had a Cinco De Mayo carnival with all the usual classy prizes.

...And real life carnys, all sporting similar smiles

Scooby is a bit surprised by the rainbow horn to the mouth.

Alas, it wasn't all carnivals. The old streetside horse ties are now part of an art project.

In the end, the train led me back to Seattle. The train trip is certainly better than driving. I'll do it again soon.
