More Relaxed Tourists »
After a couple of very fast-paced tourist days, we decided to tone things down a bit. To start things off, we slept in and had breakfast downstairs at a relaxed pace, instead of at the standard eat-and-run pace we had been keeping up previously.
Then we headed out and found our way to Gas Works Park (I was actually able to follow the directions this time). A beautiful day again, and the view across the lake was simply wonderful. Interestingly, there seemed to be fewer homeless people here than at the piers downtown. Perhaps this is an unwritten (or even a written) code someplace, but it seems that a more relaxed setting, with less noise, would be more conducive to living - and sleeping. But what do I know? Perhaps the lesser flow of foot traffic has its downside.
