Downtown and Back

My neighborhood is not usually considered within walking distance of downtown but if you have the time I think it is actually pretty manageable. This loop took me over the west hills via the intersection of Dosch and Payton and down into PSU campus downtown. From their the route followed Terwilliger into Hillsdale and back home.

It was a great walk. It was getting late so there was zero foot traffic on Terwilliger which is rare. It is great to have the whole route to yourself. 

Walking late into the night has one major flaw. As I walked into Hillsdale past Mcmenamins I was very tired and had visions of tator tots bounding through my head. In the end it was not to be. It was fast approaching midnight and I the kitchen would be closing.

So next time you have a day to kill come over to multnomah village and get a cup of coffee. Then leave the car and walk over to the Pearl District or Riverplace for dinner. The walk back to the car will really get your attention but in the end you will be glad it did.
