A department store's worth of books - new, used, English, Russian, picture books, antiquarian's delights. For those haven't been, imagine Vroman's on steroids - in the best way.

Directory and maps needed and supplied.
They are comfy enough with marketing to have a small section dedicated to Portlandia.

They have an espresso machine, too. Different focus than most.

Lunch in the Mississippi section of Portland at Por Qué No?
Semi-tearful goodbyes and then on to Weed, CA, Mt. Shasta, and the Hi-Lo Motel and RV Park.

Next night - Los Padres Inn, San Luis Obispo.
The mariachis down the street wished us well as went to
Las Pilitas Nursery in Santa Margarita.
Home to sunny Southern California.
