Day 82 Zac in Portland

Only about 90-100 miles from the Pacific Ocean!!!!! Day 82 should have Zac staying at the Hawthorne House, part of Hostel International. This historic home was built in 1909 and the room rates are unbelievable, and the company is international. Hawthorne Blvd is known for it’s quaint eateries, coffeehouses, pubs, unique shops, and the famous Bagdad Brew Pub & Theatre. Hawthorne House is quick trip to all of the City’s attractions such as Powell's Books, Old Town, the Pearl District, Nob Hill, Weekend Market, Washington Park, Pioneer Square, and Willamette River Promenade. Zac actually gets a day of rest to delay so that he can wait for me to arrive in Portland on Saturday. Under the energy and guidance of Kim Sincair (who used to babysit Zac when he was a mere toddler and has many stories to share), we are planning a Drop In at Newberry Hall in Aiken on Monday, August 4th. I will post further details. So very close to the other "shining sea" on Zac's quest of "Sea to Shining Sea"!
