On the second day Anna and I went to Multnomah Falls just outside Portland. It is a beautiful waterfall that is over 500 feet tall. We walked up to a lovely bridge. The sky was overcast and it was raining, but it was beautiful. There were a dozen other little waterfalls to see along the way as well! The weather was a balmy 37 degrees Fahrenheit and the mocha that I bought at the base of the falls warmed me up nicely. They had delicious fudge as well. The walk up to the bridge was worth it, despite the fact it was so chilly.
We went to the food trucks for lunch. We ordered from The New taste of India. It was amazing. The food truck are all lined up in various lots all over Portland and they serve any kind of food one wants. In order to make it out here you have to be good. People of Portland are very picky about food and even these random food trucks throughout the city serve a panorama of food. There were food trucks every where I went. The were lined up in lots, but there were also carts that traveled around the city that had food as well. Any kind of food you want is available on these carts, Gyros, Mexican, Lebanese, Italian, Thai, hot dogs,.... the list goes on and on and on. I was so amazed at the diversity of the food available I had a really hard time making a decision.

| Anna Modeling a hat! |
The Hat Museum is located on Ladd and its a historic district. The curator running the museum was dressed as someone would in the Victorian Era. She told us all about the difference between Victorian- when Queen Victoria ruled, then Edwardian, when her son ruled. They had over 1300 hats on display and is probably the largest hat museum in the world. We saw original hats from over a hundred years ago and recreated hats. The museum also makes it's own hats and showed us the studio. Alice (our tour guide) went through all the exhibits that have changed hats making them more or less popular throughout the years. At the end of the tour we go to try on hats in the gift shop and we even bought some! To take a tour you have to book it in advance. It's only $15, but it's non-refundable, so if you make the reservation you should show up!
