the Portland air tram only chargers 1 way...

Great photo op from the top =)
Amasiko nenkcubeko

instead of change/money give homeless people granola bars

I believe that people dont ever deserve to go hungry, but please help be part of the solution with me. Homelessness is encouraging panhandling and rarely helps solve the issue long term.

In sept/oct the "swift" birds put on quiet the show...

The "swifts" are a type of swallow that migrate through Portland. During their nightly roost they swarm in amazing spinning formations that are spectacular. Lots of good online videos, but even better in person.
Ukuhamba-hamba

jump on/off the Pink Trolley If doing the tourist thing

Best way to see the most in one day and be able to decide to dive into one area/activity. I send family from out of town on it to keep them busy =) https://www.graylineofportland.net/combo-tours/schedule/
Izinto omele uzipakishe

leave the umbrella at home, but get waterproof shoes!

no quicker way to be identified as a tourist. If walking around portland waterproof shoes are a must. rain+puddles=bad

ZOO: even on busy days the overflow parking shuttle is FREE

if public transportation through the MAX (public trains) is not your cup of tea, the zoo typically posts signage to overflow lots
