Ben and I walked up into the city yesterday. First stop was to get our library cards at the Portland Public Library. A very nice lady gave us key cards and I'm very excited because not only can I use the facilities there on Monument Square, but they have ebooks and eaudiobooks for downloading as well as Mango language courses online (I'm starting with Gaelic, then maybe French).
Then we wandered down into the Old Port. Ben tolerated my popping into various stores pretty well, but was glad to stop for lunch at Bill's Pizza on Commercial Street. Then I had to stop at Gorgeous Gelato where I had limoncello gelato - delicious!
We decided to take the public bus back home as I wanted to try it and see how it works in Portland. This was Ben's first ride on a public bus and I think he was impressed - quick and clean to get back home.
